Ingredients:
12 ounces uncooked penne
1 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 ounce pine nuts, about 2 tbsp
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed ( I used freshly cooked spinach and it was just fine)
1 lb plum tomatoes, chopped
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 medium olives, black,pitted and chopped ( I prefer the green Greek or Italian olives)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions (without butter or oil), drain and set aside.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray.
Add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until oil sizzles.
Add pine nuts and garlic.
Cook and stir until pine nuts are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir in spinach and tomatoes and cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Add spinach mixture to pasta and toss until combined.
