Spinach and Feta Pasta

Submitted by Cher Jewhurst

"An all time favorite of mine, I got this recipe from Allrecipes posted by Suki. It's fast and easy to make and tastes fantastic. Crusty rolls for mopping up the juices is all that's needed to finish the meal. I use lots more of the red pepper flakes to add zing and probably more feta as well since it's my favorite cheese. It's a real filling dinner for those nights when we want to eat vegetarian and DH requests this one frequently."

Spinach and Feta Pasta 5 stars Made for PAC 2008- This is a simple and delicious side dish or light entrée. I followed to a T except for the mushrooms.(we do not eat them if we can see them) I added more tomatoes and spinach to compensate for missing ingredient. I love feta and garlic so this is right up my alley. Even DH who is not a huge feta eater liked this dish and sid it had a tangy taste that he liked. Served as a side with grilled chicken breasts fruit. Will make this often as a lunch or side for dinner. Another great recipe by my PAC Baby.
