  1. Tip the fusilli into a large pan of boiling salted water and boil for 10 minutes. Throw in the spinach, stir well and boil for another 2 minutes. Drain into a colander or sieve and leave to drip-dry.
  2. Tip the tomatoes, olives and feta into a big bowl, grind lots of black pepper over and then drizzle with the olive oil.
  3. Toss in the drained pasta and spinach, and let everyone help themselves.

    I think this recipe has to be hot. Well the pasta has to be hot and then you mix everything else with it. I love EVERYTHING in this recipe

    I really loved this. My daughter (8) said it was 'yum'. I served it just warm to accompany some lamb and mint kofta. Really lovely, easy and healthy.

    This actually works to make the night before, put in a container and take to work for lunch. Really nice. I added some red onion and a little bit of pesto.

    Very easy to make. I couldn't find baby spinach, so I made it without it and it was still very tasty. It makes an excellent light dish for hot summer days, especially served cold.

    Simply scrumptious- next time i'll add more spinach and olives, but apart from that the recipe is spot on. The flavours and textures mix really well and although it's a salad it leaves you feeling full but not bloated! I served mine hot.

    I was a bit dubious about this dish, but it was delicious! The only negative - i served it as left overs the next day & the spinach had gone a bit slimey. Will certainly make it again.

    Very yummy. Grilling the tomato is nice if you want to eat it hot.

    Cooked the pasta the day before, left out the spinach, and put everything else together the next day for a bbq. Also added cucumber.

    So good warm and just as good cold for my packed lunch the next day. I used wholewheat pasta, more tomatoes (400g) and only 2tbsp oil to make it healthier

    Made this and had cold for lunches. Left the spinach raw as prefer it more salad-y. Really delicious and very filling, keeps me going through the afternoon.
