I truly cannot imagine a more perfect pasta dish, especially when it comes to warm summer evenings.\u00a0 This is about as fresh, comforting, and bright as pasta dishes get.<\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
5<\/span> cups<\/span> cherry tomatoes, halved<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> tbsp<\/span> sun-dried tomatoes, chopped<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> extra virgin olive oil<\/span><\/div>\n
6<\/span> <\/span> cloves garlic, minced<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> cups<\/span> baby spinach, coarsely chopped<\/span><\/div>\n
8<\/span> oz<\/span> (\u00bd package) thin whole-wheat spaghetti<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> cup<\/span> fresh basil, chopped<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> cup<\/span> pine nuts, toasted (optional)<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> lemon juice (optional)<\/span><\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Toss the tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and salt. Spread the coated tomatoes on a foil-lined roasting sheet and roast until the tomatoes are shriveled and lightly browned, approximately 20-30 minutes. Once they have finished roasting, scrape the tomatoes and juices into a large bowl. Add the spinach and sundried tomatoes to the bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the pasta according to the package directions. When the pasta is ready, drain it and toss with the spinach, roasted tomatoes, basil, and if so desired, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. To finish, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":21045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2704],"yst_prominent_words":[1038,1472,1085,1601,1158,1600,1321],"class_list":["post-20580","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-entrees","cp_recipe_cuisine-italian","cp_recipe_cooking_method-boiling","cp_recipe_cooking_method-roasting","cp_recipe_tags-30-minutes-or-less","cp_recipe_tags-low-fat","cp_recipe_tags-recipe-videos","cp_recipe_tags-soy-free"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20580"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
