Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole wheat angel hair pasta (most packages come as 16 oz., so use half)
  • 6 ounces Kalamata olives, pitted, sliced in half
  • 12 ounces marinated artichokes, drained
  • 2 cups of mixed baby tomatoes (cherry is fine too), halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups of spinach
  • red chili flakes, to taste (more for spice)
  • kosher salt
  • 4 cloves of garlic, sliced lengthwise
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot bring water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package, until al dente
  2. While pasta cooks, heat skillet over medium-low heat and add 1/4 olive oil. Add sliced garlic, and pinch of salt, and let cook for 5 – 6 minutes. *Be sure to stir, you don’t want to burn the garlic
  3. After 5 minutes, add olives, tomatoes, artichokes and red chili flakes; stir together and keep heat on medium-low
  4. When pasta is ready, remove heat, drain water; use tongs to scoop pasta into large skillet. Toss and stir (gently – don’t mush the tomatoes!) to coat thoroughly.
