Greek spinach pie, but make it pasta! This Greek-inspired dish is speedy and protein-packed. It’s ready in under 20 min, meat-free, and loaded with tons of spinach to help get those greens in! We love using frozen spinach—it’s affordable, nutritious, and convenient.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 lb (225 g) uncooked spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 pkg (18 oz/500 g) frozen spinach
  • 2 eggs
  • 3⁄4 cup crumbled feta
  • 2 tbsp Dilly Honey Mustard Dressing Mix or Lemon Dilly Dip Mix
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1⁄3 cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. In a large pot, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta water; drain remaining water.
  2. Meanwhile, in Sauté Pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add spinach; cook, stirring often, until defrosted and liquid has evaporated, about 10 min.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with feta, dressing mix, and lemon juice.
  4. Add pasta, reserved pasta water, and feta mixture to pan; toss until pasta is evenly coated.
  5. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and additional toppings, if desired.
