1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.

4

Once the pasta is ready, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the spinach garlic mixture.

5

Toss the pasta with the spinach and garlic, adding feta cheese, lemon juice, and a bit of reserved pasta water to create a light sauce. Stir well to combine.

6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat to warm everything through.

7

Serve immediately, garnished with extra feta and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
