Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spinach and Feta Penne Pasta.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bringing it to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the penne pasta and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
When it’s done, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.
Step 4
In a spacious skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
As the oil shimmers, add in the chopped onion and minced garlic.
Step 6
Sauté them together until they turn a lovely golden brown, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 7
Next, stir in the chopped tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and fresh spinach leaves.
Step 8
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a few red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
Step 9
Let this colorful mixture cook for about two minutes, just until the tomatoes are warmed through and the spinach has wilted beautifully.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Lower the heat to medium and gently fold in the drained penne pasta along with crumbled feta cheese.
Step 11
Stir everything together until it’s heated through and the flavors meld into a harmonious dish.
Step 12
And there you have it—a vibrant, comforting pasta dish that’s not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor.
Step 13
Enjoy every bite!.
