Mediterrranean Spaghetti (GF)

Mediterranean Spaghetti (GF)

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. Olive Oil, divided

1 large Shallot, minced

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, chopped

1 large Lemon, juiced

2 tbsp. White Wine

1 ½ tsp. Fresh Basil

pinch Red Pepper Flakes

6 oz. Fresh Baby Spinach

4 oz. Feta Cheese, crumbled

2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, halved

½ cup Kalamata Olives, sliced

8 oz. Gluten-Free Spaghetti

1 tbsp. Kosher Salt

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tbsp. olive oil.  When ready, add shallot and garlic cooking until translucent.  Add lemon juice and wine and simmer briefly.  Add basil and pepper flakes and then the spinach.  When spinach begins to soften, but not yet wilted, transfer mixture to a large bowl.  Toss with most of feta, saving some for garnish.  Add remaining oil to skillet and cook tomatoes until slightly softened.  Add tomatoes and olives to mixture in bowl and toss.  While doing this, cook pasta according to package directions but stop a minute or two early.  Be sure to add salt to the boiling water before adding the pasta.  Drain pasta and add to mixture and toss.  Garnish with remaining feta cheese and serve.

Notes:              If you don’t like feta cheese, use grated parmesan.  You can also use a different shape of gluten-free pasta too.
