The success of this super-simple dish depends on using good-quality feta cheese. With so few ingredients, each needs to pull its weight, and here it's the cheese in particular that will make this pasta shine.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • 1 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 3 ounces good-quality feta cheese, crumbled

Very tasty and simple recipe. I used frozen chopped spinach and it became a "pantry recipe" - everything else I had on hand. The feta made it. Great cold leftovers for lunch the next day.

Just tried this recipe last night, and my whole family loved it. Great combination of tastes and easy to prepare. It did take longer than 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish; however, once all ingredients were ready, it took about 15 minutes to cook.
