8 oz uncooked penne
1 tsp table salt
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 medium garlic clove, minced
8 oz spinach, washed, stemmed, coarsely chopped (about 5 cups)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
6 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese
Cook penne in boiling salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid before draining pasta.
Meanwhile, heat broth in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add cooked penne, reserved cooking liquid and tomatoes to skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until tomatoes are slightly pulpy, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes; add cheese and heat through. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.
