How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Fresh Spinach Peas Feta

  1. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, whisk together feta cheese, skim milk, and basil in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Heat chicken broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth and cook for 2 minutes, or until softened.
  5. Stir in frozen peas and the feta cheese mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat.
  7. Wash spinach and/or arugula thoroughly in several changes of cold water. Drain well using a salad spinner or by gently pressing out excess water.
  8. Roughly chop spinach and/or arugula. (Stack leaves and slice crosswise for thin strips if preferred)
  9. Gently fold the spinach and/or arugula into the pasta mixture.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Divide the pasta among serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
