I got this recipe from my mom, and it's one of my favorites. It's easy, not too time-consuming, and it tastes great. It's a little bit spicy, though, so if you don't like spicy food, you might not enjoy this. Ingredients:
8 ounces dried mostaccioli pasta |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3 cups of coarsely chopped and seeded tomatoes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
3 cups spinach, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Drain; keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in hot oil over medium heat until onion is tender.
4. Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, red pepper.
5. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for about two minutes or until the tomatoes are warm and release some of their juices.
6. Stir in spinach, heat just until greens are wilterd.
7. To serve, top pasta with tomato mixture; sprinkle with parmesean cheese.
