recipe box: nine

Mediterranean pasta

what you need
whole wheat pasta of choice: 8 ounces

cherry tomatoes: two cups

fresh baby spinach: four cups

sweet onion: one whole (sliced)

kalamata olives: one cup (pitted and halved)

garlic: one head

fresh feta: 1/4 cup

 olive oil: 1/4 cup

vegetable stock: as needed

salt and pepper: to taste

what to do 

heat oven to 350 degrees.

 wrap cloves of garlic or

 cut end off of the head of garlic-

place in foil, drizzle tablespoon of olive oil

 salt and pepper and roast for thirty minutes.

 as your garlic roasts

you need to have two things going-

your water started for the pasta &

 heating your wok to a med high heat

 with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.

 saute onion for five minutes with a touch of salt.

 once almost translucent 

add kalamata olives, cooking for another five minutes.

 **use vegetable stock if sticking occurs.

(you want to cook this over med high heat)

so use the stock as needed!

 add tomatoes and allow to cook 

until they are a bit soft.

adding more stock and covering pan

 will allow this process to speed up.

once tomatoes are at desired softness

 add spinach- this will wilt fast.

 cook for about two minutes.

pasta should be done by this point

 add to the top of vegetables in the wok.

 toss together so they become happy together- 

add feta, plate up and enjoy!
