Serves 4

Ingredients

4 ounces dried radiatore or rotini pasta

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach (about 2 ounces)

15 ounce can no-salt-added chick-peas, rinsed if desired and drained

1 cup coarsely chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers, rinsed and drained (about 6 ½ ounces)

12 Kalamata olives, drained and chopped

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon dried basil, crumbled

2 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)
To Prepare

Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain in a colander and run under cold water until completely cooled. Drain well.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients except the feta. Add the pasta to the spinach mixture, tossing gently yet thoroughly to coat. Add the feta and toss gently.
