Greek Pasta

This recipe came from All Recipes.  It seemed like a very simple recipe so I definitely made some changes. I added sauteed garlic and onions, white wine, and lemon juice. It was good but I thought it was lacking a little something. Next time I might use unseasoned diced tomatoes so I can use fresh herbs. I would also add even more feta. Can you ever really have enough feta?

Ingredients
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
  • 1 (19 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • splash of white wine 
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 8 ounces penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions
  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  2. Meanwhile, saute garlic and onion in a large non-stick skillet until tender. 
  3. Add tomatoes, beans, and a splash of white wine. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
  4. Add spinach to the sauce; cook for 2 minutes or until spinach wilts, stirring constantly.
  5. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve sauce over pasta, and sprinkle with feta.
