Alexandra's Feta Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen chopped spinach

• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (I use one with basil and oregano and another with onions and garlic)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese (we use more than this)
• 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 16 ounces pasta (like ziti or some other large, sturdy pasta shape)
• 1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°.

2. 2

   Begin boiling water for pasta.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, saute chopped onion in olive oil.

4. 4

   Put spinach in a microwave-safe dish and heat until you can press out most of the water- this was about five minutes at 80% power for me- much easier if you remember ahead of time to put frozen bag of spinach in the fridge the day before, then just heat and press out water.

5. 5

   Once onions are soft, add tomatoes (partially drained) and spinach, stir gently, and turn to medium low.

6. 6

   Drain pasta when cooked, scatter half in a 9x13 dish.

7. 7

   Add half the veggie goop, half the crumbled feta, and the cream.

8. 8

   Add salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Stir.

10. 10

    Repeat with the second half of ingredients.

11. 11

    Stir lightly.

12. 12

    Cover all with a coating of grated parmesan.

13. 13

    Bake about 30 minutes, lightly covered with foil (remove during last few minutes to give cheese on top a bit of a"crust").
