  • 1 pound Farfalle aka bow tie pasta
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups spinach
  • ¼ cup Sherry cooking wine
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • ¼ cup walnuts

  • Place the grape tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic and toss to coat. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they start to wrinkle and burst.

  • Once water is boiling, cook the pasta al dente according to the directions on the box. Drain the pasta and add it to a large salad or serving bowl.

  • While the pasta is still hot, quickly add the sherry cooking wine, spinach, and roasted tomatoes and garlic. Toss so that the sherry coats the pasta before it sticks together, and the spinach slightly wilts from the heat of the pasta.

  • Crumble the goat cheese on top and add the walnuts. Toss one last time to evenly distribute. Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • This dish can be served hot for dinner or cold as a nice side dish pasta salad.
  • Make it your own! Sub your favorite nut for walnuts or use breadcrumbs for a little crunch. Make it vegan with Kite Hill Cream Cheese. Chuck some basil in for herbaceous aromatics. This pasta is SO versatile!
  • Reducing your meat consumption significantly reduces your carbon footprint. Be kind to the planet (as well as your tastebuds!) with more of these delicious meatless pasta meals.
