Ingredients
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion sliced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms sliced, or cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon garlic about 3 cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 pint tomatoes halved, cherry or grape
- 3 cups baby spinach rinsed
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup feta cheese for topping, crumbled
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Cook 1 pound penne pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in sliced 1 medium red onion and sliced 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Add in the 1 tablespoon minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Add in the 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar - it will sizzle like crazy and reduce rather quickly.
- By this time your pasta should be done and drained. Turn off the heat to the skillet and add the cooked pasta, 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes and 3 cups baby spinach. Stir to coat the noodles and continue stirring until the spinach begins to wilt, about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste, and season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese on top and serve.
