1 garlic clove, minced
1 large bunch greens (such as spinach, mustard greens, kale, or broccoli rabe; about 1 pound), thick stems removed, spinach left whole, other greens cut into 1-inch strips (about 10 cups packed)
12 oz penne
5 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 oz)
1) Mix parsley, lemon peel and garlic in small bowl; set aside.
2) Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add greens and cook just until tender, 1 to 6 minutes, depending on type of greens. Using skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer greens to colander to drain.
3) Return water to boil. Add pasta and cook just until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
4) Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot; add greens and 3 tablespoons oil and toss. Stir in olives, feta, and enough reserved pasta cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten.
5) Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with parsley mixture and serve.
Review: This recipe was titled Penne With Green Olives & Feta. A typo, but I had already had my heart set on green olives. Therefore, I added green olives with my kalamata olives! It was a great mix. I used kale for my greens, mostly because it tends to be so bright green when cooked. This was tasty and a hearty meal. Yum.
