Sundried Tomato Pasta

List of Ingredients




8 oz. pasta of your choice, penne is a good choice
4 oz. sundried tomatoes in oil
2 cups spinach leaves, packed
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup mild goat cheese, crumbled


Recipe



Cook pasta according to package directions.
Drain sundried tomatoes in large skillet. When somewhat drained, slice into strips. If you have less than 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet, add more, either from the jar or a good olive oil.
When pasta is nearly done, heat skillet on medium high heat and add sundried tomatoes. Cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and pepper and, stirring constantly, cook for 2 more minutes. Drain pasta and mix with sundried tomatoes, spinach, and oil from skillet. Top with crumbled goat cheese.

Variations:
Add sliced black olives.
Add chopped marinated artichoke hearts.
If you can't find goat cheese, use feta instead.
Quick tip: Sunsweet sells sundried tomatoes in oil already sliced.
