Instructions:
…for one pot pasta with feta, spinach & dried tomatoes:
Peel the onion and garlic and chop finely. Cut dried tomatoes into strips. Roast the pine nuts in a pan over a low to medium heat without adding oil or fat, then remove them from the pan and set aside. Place the pan back on the stove, heat up with a splash of oil, add the onions and garlic to the pan and sweat for 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat, turning occasionally, until translucent.
Preparing One Pot Pasta with Feta, Spinach & Dried Tomatoes
Then add 500 grams of fusilli (alternatively another type of pasta), 300 grams of frozen leaf spinach, the dried tomatoes, 1 liter of water and 2 teaspoons of salt to the pan, then stir everything well, bring to the boil and allow to simmer gently with the lid closed over a low to medium heat for 10 – 12 minutes.
Stir the one pot pasta from time to time so that all the ingredients can be distributed evenly and nothing can burn on the bottom of the pan. As soon as the pasta is cooked and the liquid has almost completely absorbed, add the roasted pine nuts and 100 milliliters of cream, also crumble the feta cheese and add it to the pan as well.
Serving One Pot Pasta with Feta, Spinach & Dried Tomatoes
Stir the one pot pasta well and let the feta cheese melt in the hot pan. Finally, season everything with possibly more salt, freshly ground pepper and a little zest from an untreated lemon. Then stir well one last time & warm through briefly, remove the pan from the heat & spread the one pot pasta on deep plates & best serve immediately. Have fun cooking!
