Penne With Spinach and Feta

Good recipe. Didn't have pinenuts so used pecans. Generous servings and also toddler friendly. Well worth the effort.

cheated completely. Used risoni, baby spinach, and canned diced tomatoes, didnt have any olive oil left, so only butter, everything else was the same:) turned out very well, served with steak, and I will do this again, the flavours are great! Next time I will follow the recipe, promise :)

I changed this up, just a little bit, but this was very tasty, and makes a ton! First, I cooked maybe a pound of chicken breasts in a little olive oil and sprinkled with Recipe #38293. Sliced into bite sized pieces then set aside. Followed the rest of the recipe, but didn't use any butter. I also used 2-15 oz. cans diced tomatoes, undrained, in place of the roma tomatotes. Added the chicken in the spinach tomato mixture just before tossing with the pasta. This is one I'll be making again. :)

I used 1 can of diced tomatoes without the juice. I prefer it with a little juice anyway, so these worked great. I also squirted in a little fresh lemon juice, about 1 T. for some added flavor, along with 1 tsp. Greek seasoning. Delicious!

It was a little dry, so I added a little more butter...hehe. Served with parmesan. Good recipe!

Very easy and tasty recipe. I halved it for just 2 people. Very generous servings. Used the garlic in a jar rather than fresh. Added more pine nuts- we love them, though they are sure expensive. Also added more olive oil to the spinach mixture while it was heating. Mine seemed too dry, but easily solved. Love the combination of all these ingredients! Oh, and I added some "deli" already roasted chicken that I needed to use up. I bet you could add other interesting ingredients to this wonderful recipe. It would lend itself to many variations. A winner!

This was very easy to make and really good! We added grilled chicken to the mix for extra protein. I'll definitely make this again!

This is a great recipe, wonderful and fresh!! I used one lemon, as was suggested by someone else, and it just added a great flavor to it. Everyone in my family loved it and are already fighting over the leftovers!

Another delicious recipe Evelyn. I've been making this for myself and my hubby for over a year but have only just got round to giving it a rating. Only thing I did different was cook the tomatoes for longer.

Yuuummm - This is sooo good. I made it 3 times in the 1st week alone! I ran out and bought a huge bunch of baby spinach just so I can make more! I did need to use 1 15oz can of good diced tomatoes as I was out of fresh ones - and I think I actually preferred that more - which is good 'cause its easier! I also chose to skip the butter and I never missed it.

This was good. I'm glad I made some variations b/c I think it might have been lacking in some flavor and too oily for my taste. First off, I my daughter is allergic to all nuts so I skipped the pine nuts (bummer b/c I love them). Second, I added marinated artichoke hearts. They gave it some tang and complimented the feta cheese nicely. Third, I didn't seed my tomatoes. Fourth, I did not add the additional 6 tbs of oil (The pasta was juicy and didn't require the extra fat.); and fifth, I used fresh spinach and sauteed it a bit longer with the tomatoes and garlic so it would cook through. I think b/c I didn't seed the tomatoes, the spinach/tomatoes/a.hearts mixture was juicier than if I had. If you want to cut back on the fat, skip step #5 or reduce it in half.

This dish was excellent. I've made it twice so far, the first time as listed above. The second time I added cubed leftover ham. Next time I think I'll use Italian Sausage. It's DELISH as a main dish. Do try this, it deserves more than 5 stars. Very colorful, would be a great pot luck dish and I would feed it to company with no hesitation. 5*

This recipe was so easy to make. I used pastuerised spinach & a little less feta plus a can of plum tomatoes including the juice. All the ingredients with the exception of the Penne my youngest son will usually not touch with a 10 foot pole. Well, my 3 men, youngest included, managed to polish this off & ALL thought it tasted great.

I have made this dish so many times, and I never get tired of it. The recipe makes an enormous amount (there's only two of us in my household); but when you taste it, you'll be happy you have leftovers. Many thanks to Evelyn for creating one of our favorite recipes!!
