Ingredients

8 ounces spinach, trimmed and shredded

1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted*

1 tablespoon dried oregano

6 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 clove garlic, minced - 1 or 2 cloves

Directions

In a large pan of boiling water, cook bowtie pasta. Drain well and rinse under cold water. Transfer drained pasta to a large salad bowl. Add finely chopped green onions, sun-dried tomatoes, shredded spinach, toasted pine nuts, oregano, salt and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

To make the dressing, in a small jar with a lid, combine olive oil, crushed red pepper, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Shake well. Pour dressing over salad and toss until evenly coated. Before serving, sprinkle salad with remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

*To toast, place pine nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes or until pine nuts are golden brown.
