Acini di Pepe with Spinach, Garlic, and Scallions
- 1 pound Acini Di Pepe Pasta (or Other Small Pasta)
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 bulbs Scallions (green Onions), White And Green Parts, Sliced Thin
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
- 16 ounces, fluid Frozen Chopped Spinach
- 1/2 cups Feta
- Follow package directions to cook pasta.
- When draining the pasta, either use a sieve (as I have) or line your colander with paper towels.
- The pasta will only be the size of peppercorns when fully cooked, so ensure that the pasta wont fall through the holes in your colander when you drain it.
- In a large saute pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Stir in scallions, garlic, and crushed red pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic and scallions are soft.
- Do not let the garlic burn.
- Add frozen spinach directly to saute pan, and cook until spinach is heated through.
- Empty drained pasta into saute pan, and stir to combine spinach mixture and pasta.
- Empty pasta and spinach mixture into serving dish, and add feta to dish.
- Serve immediately.
