My aunt came up with this delicious recipe and my mom and I modified it. It's one of my favorite casseroles and is relatively easy to make.

Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Boil pasta al dante according to package directions.
3

As the pasta is boiling, prepare dressing. I just add the ingredients into a large measuring cup.
4

Add the onion, red pepper and cut cherry tomatoes into a large saucepan. Add approximately 1/3 of the dressing (it acts as the oil). Cook on medium heat until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
5

Add another 1/3 of the dressing into the pan. Add the spinach. I add the spinach a handful at a time until it wilts, otherwise it might not all fir into the pan at once.
6

Once all the spinach has wilted, mix the contents of the pan with the cooked pasta in a large casserole dish. Add the remaining dressing and the feta cheese. Mix well.
7

Bake covered for 20-30 minutes.
