  1. PASTA, PRONTO!

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 17-20 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. SLICE, DICE & FRY

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add in the grated garlic and chilli flakes (to taste) and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix in the sliced mushrooms and fry until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  3. TASTY TOMATO SAUCE

    Once the mushrooms are done, pour in the tomato passata and 50ml of water. Lower the heat and simmer until reduced and thickened, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add a sweetener and seasoning.

  4. REUNITED

    When the sauce has 5 minutes remaining, stir through the sour cream, the rinsed spinach, the drained feta, cooked pasta and ½ the chopped oregano. Add some of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

  5. PERFECT PASTA

    Plate up a hearty helping of the spinach & feta pasta and scatter over the hard cheese. Garnish with the remaining chopped oregano.
