Ingredients

  • 340 grams spaghetti or pasta of your choice or 12 oz
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 6 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Greek feta

Instructions

  • Boil pasta according to package directions.
    340 grams spaghetti or pasta of your choice
  • While your pasta is boiling, in a large skillet, in another pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the green onions for 1 – 2 minutes.  Add the dill, parsley and dried mint and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often to prevent the herbs from burning.

  • Add the spinach to the skillet as well as the oregano, salt and pepper.  Cook over medium heat until the spinach is wilted.  You may find that the spinach clumps up together.  Try to tear apart the larger clumps using a wooden spoon.  Keep warm over low heat.

  • When your pasta is cooked to your preference, drain it and set aside.
  • As your pasta is draining, add the crumbled feta to the spinach mix and cook over low heat for 2 minutes.  Toss the drained pasta into the skillet and stir until well combined.
