Spinach & Tomato Pasta

Sorry I've not posted any recipes recently. This mainly reflects my lack of creativity in the kitchen of late. Tonight was a breath of fresh air.

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
16 oz. whole wheat pasta
2 1/2 tbsp feta cheese
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Heat olive oil and saute garlic, adding tomatoes and spinach once garlic is softening.

Let the oil, tomatoes and spinach simmer on medium low while the pasta finishes.

Drain pasta and pour tomato/spinach mixture over it.

Add feta and balsamic vinegar and stir well.

There wasn't a bite of this left. J and the girls loved it!

The one thing I might change next time is to add more spinach - it just wilts to nothing, so adding a lot more wouldn't have been a bad thing.

That sounds yummy. I don't particularly like heavy pasta dishes when it's hot out. But, this one seems light enough for warm weather.

That's so true about spinach! I saute it with garlic as a side dish sometimes and never make enough!
