Pasta with Spinach and Feta Cheese

Even though we are dairy-free in our house, the kids can tolerate goat milk and cheeses, which is awesome for me, especially in recipes like this. Greek feta (goat`s milk feta) is the perfect substitute for regular feta.

6 Tbsp. Olive Oil
3 medium red onions, finely sliced (you do need all of them)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch fresh spinach (or one small box)
salt to sprinkle
3 c. cooked fusilli
1 c. crumbled feta cheese
freshly grated parmesan cheese
pepper
1/4 c. toasted pine nuts (optional)
1/4 c. sliced kalamata olives (optional)


Heal oil in saucepan. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes. Add spinach and sprinkle lightly with salt. stir until spinach wilts. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Cook pasta until tender. Drain. Add feta cheese to warm pasta and cook over low heat until cheese melts. Add spinach mixture and toss. Sprinkle with parmasan cheese, pepper, pine nuts and olives if desired.
