A slightly complicated pasta sauce


Ok, this sounds a like a lot of work for a pasta sauce, but I promise you it's worth it. It has been known to be eaten straight out the pan by a neighbour who dropped in on us while we were having dinner! This recipe should serve about 3 people.

6 large tomatoes
1 red onion
1 clove garlic
1 red chili
1 pack spinach
1/2 pack feta cheese
balsamic vinegar
olive oil
parsley
squeeze lemon juice
parmesan
200g linguine

Cut the tomatoes and onion into quarters, and finally chop the garlic and chili. Place in a roasting tray with a generous covering of olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 200 degrees C until juicy and crispy (about 40 mins). Meanwhile cut the feta into cubes and marinate in the parsley, lemon juice, a splash of olive oil and seasoning. Wash the spinach and wilt. Cut into small pieces and add a splash of balamic vinegar. Meanwhile cook the pasta. When the roasting in finished, add the feta and spinach mixtures to the roasting tray and stir well to mix the flavours. Serve with linguine and freshly grated parmesan.
