Greek Fettuccine

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package spinach fettuccine pasta
• 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup chopped black olives (optional)
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Place the tomatoes, mint, and black olives (if using) into a saucepan over medium-low heat, and bring to a bare simmer. Stir in the feta cheese, and allow to melt slightly.

Place the spinach fettuccine into a serving bowl, and toss with the tomato mixture. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
