Pasta with Spinach and Sun Dried Tomatoes



Pasta with Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes

8 oz short pasta, I used ziti
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 TBSP olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
6 oz baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. In a dry pan over medium high heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown. Takes about seven minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat oil in a large saute pan. Add chicken and garlic. Saute until the chicken is cooked through. Add the sundried tomatoes, black olives, and the drained noodles. Remove from heat, add in the spinach and feta cheese. Mix well. Top with toasted pine nuts. Add salt and pepper as needed.
