DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic, and cook until golden brown. Mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook 2 minutes more, until tomatoes are heated through and spinach is wilted. Reduce heat to medium, stir in pasta and feta cheese, and cook until heated through.

I am newly married & just learning to cook. I'm always on the lookout for things that are relatively easy and taste great, too. This recipe definitely fit the bill! My husband loved it and the leftovers were even better the next day. I only had 4 oz of feta, but I added 4 oz of mozzarella and it was outstanding. Also added an entire bag of baby spinach, as it does cook down a lot. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

I have been making this recipe for many years now and it still remains my all time favorite! One thing I can't stress enough...you MUST use a GOOD quality feta. The kind you get in a grocery store just doesn't have enough flavor. I'm lucky enough to have a Greek deli nearby that offers excellent feta. I also double the amount of spinach and always add extra garlic and red pepper flakes. If you'd like it a bit more hearty, try adding chicken tenderloins, cut up and sauteed.
