directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; saute 5 minutes. Add garlic to pan; saute 2 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes; bring to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spinach to pan; cook 30 seconds or until spinach wilts, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add pasta and 3/4 cup cheese to tomato mixture, tossing well to combine. Spoon pasta mixture into a 11x7 inch baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown. Sprinkle with feta before serving.
