Spaghetti with Tapenade, Spinach, Goat Cheese and Pine Nuts
This is my favorite dinner-in-a-flash. Luxurious tapenades from The Olive Press instantly transform plain pasta into a sophisticated, satisfying vegetarian dinner. Try adding grilled chicken or Italian sausage for an even heartier dish.
Ingredients
4 tbsp your favorite tapenade from The Olive Press
1 lb spaghetti
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 oz. crumbled goat cheese
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp pine nuts
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Cook spaghetti according to package directions in salted boiling water. Drain and return to pot.
While spaghetti cooks, toast pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Toss hot pasta with tapenade, spinach, goat cheese, pine nuts, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot.
Serves 4.
