New Recipe!

One of my favorite restaurants in Columbus is Figlio. It specializes in pizza and pasta, and happens to be owned by the parents of one of my friends from College of Charleston.  Their pastas are all really yummy, and I decided to make a pasta based on some of their pastas for my dinner tonight. It ended up being SUPER easy, and SUPER yummy. The magic ingredient is the feta-do not leave it out!

Penne with Tomato Alfredo Sauce with Chicken and Feta

Serves 2 (with smaller servings)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups penne (I use the small cook-in-3-minutes kind)
1/4 cup light alfredo sauce
1/4 cup tomato sauce (I use Bertoli olive oil and garlic)
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
1/8 cup crumbled feta cheese (although you can add more if you want... like I said, it is the magic ingredient!)

Directions:
Bring water to boil to cook pasta, adding a bit of salt.  Cook pasta according to directions. Before draining, add in spinach, and let wilt in hot pasta water for 2 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Stir in alfredo sauce, tomato sauce, and feta cheese.

SO easy, right?? And it was delicious! Bon Appetit!
