Mediterranean Spinach And Feta Pasta Bake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt before adding more. Cook until all the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the spinach mixture.

7. Transfer the pasta and spinach mixture to the greased baking dish. Top with crumbled feta cheese and cherry tomato halves.

8. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta bake.

9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
