Pasta Recipe • Pasta Carcione

Bow tie pasta tossed with spinach, tomatoes, goat cheese and olive oil. This is the best pasta recipe in the world! I made it up one day instead of serving a heavy pasta dish. The goat cheese makes this recipe!

Ingredients

• 10 ounces spinach, rinsed
• 1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
• ¼ cup olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 8 ounces crumbled goat cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Remove stems from spinach and stack leaves together; chop thin longer strips instead of square chops and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and place in a large bowl.
3. Drizzle olive oil over pasta and add salt and pepper to taste, spinach and tomatoes; gently toss.
4. Add goat cheese and serve warm or room temperature.
