greek shrimp pasta with spinach and tomatoes


ok, this time i was slacking, but that's only because i was moving. now that i'm settled, i'm making up for my slackness and made two dishes. the first was something new and little bit different than what i've been tackling. the second is an old favorite, which once again, in my humble opinion, has turned out better than expected. here's dish numbero uno.

Ingredients:
canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
green onions
fresh spinach
whole black olives
whole wheat penne pasta
shrimp
balsamic vinegar
lemon juice
rice vinegar
1 can, cannellini beans
2 cans, diced tomatoes
basil
salt
pepper
feta cheese


Preparation:

- bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt and add penne pasta
- in a large skillet, heat canola oil and add garlic and green onions on medium heat
- add in tomatoes, cannellini beans and basil and cook through and let simmer
- add spinach and cook until spinach wilts into sauce
- on low heat, add shrimp, black olives, and a dash of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and rice vinegar
- add pepper and salt to taste
- serve over cooked pasta and add feta cheese crumbs

απόλαυσε! (supposedly enjoy in greek)
