Cooking Steps
- Before starting, to a large pot, add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high. Wash and dry all produce.
- Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, drain and finely chop olives.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef and mirepoix. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add Mediterranean Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate, half the olives and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat.
- Add penne and spinach to the pan with sauce. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.) Stir to combine, until spinach wilts.
- Divide penne between bowls. Top with sauce.
- Sprinkle feta and remaining olives over top.
