Ingredients
- 100 grams rotini pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 50 grams fresh spinach (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to boil and cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
If using fresh spinach, add it to the skillet at this point. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled feta cheese. Add the optional milk for a creamier consistency, and stir until well combined.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to evenly coat in the garlic and feta mixture. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately in a bowl and enjoy your Garlic Feta Lovers Rotini Pasta for one!
