Casual in looks, good in flavor. Fresh-tasting garlic and tomato with salty feta cheese. A Mediterranean look and taste. Ingredients:
8 ounces angel hair pasta |
12 cups boiling water |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cups roma tomatoes, diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 cups fresh spinach, coarsely chopped (lightly packed) |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 pinch granulated sugar |
1 dash pepper |
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in boiling water and first amount of salt in a large uncovered pot or Dutch oven for 6 minutes until tender but firm. Drain. Return to pot.
2. Add first amount of olive oil. Toss. Keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, saute tomato and garlic in second amount of olive oil in large frying pan for about 2 minutes until tomatoes have released their juices.
4. Add next 6 ingredients. Heat and stir for about 1 minute just until spinach is wilted and heated through.
