This easy and flavourful Sun-dried Tomato & Spinach Pasta with feta cheese takes no time at all to cook and will soon be a staple weeknight favourite!
I love love love easy recipes, especially dinner recipes that can be made quickly during a weeknight. This Sun-dried Tomato & Spinach Pasta is perfect because all you really need to wait for are your noodles to boil. The ‘sauce’ itself, made up of just sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and spinach, takes no time at all.
This is definitely more of a ‘garlic and oil’ based pasta, vs. a thick or creamy sauce. It’s a nice change from spaghetti!
How to Make Sun-dried Tomato & Spinach Pasta
For this recipe you’ll need:
- fusilli pasta (I like to use brown rice pasta)
- sun-dried tomatoes (I buy mine in a jar with oil)
- olive oil
- baby spinach, or other leafy green of choice
- garlic
- salt and pepper
- crumbled feta cheese for topping
- hemp seeds for extra protein (optional)
Start by cooking your pasta per package directions. While it’s cooking, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the spinach and mix until wilted. Then add in the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes. Once pasta is cooked, strain then stir together with sun-dried tomato mixture. Serve with crumbled feta on top!
