How to make it
Boil the pasta
Cook the pasta in water according to its packet. Before draining, save a small cup of the cooking water.
Soften the tomatoes
Rinse and chop the tomatoes. Warm the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the tomatoes and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring until juicy.
Add spinach and pasta
Rinse the spinach, add it to the tomatoes and stir until wilted. Add the drained pasta and a splash of the reserved water. Toss together over a low heat.
Finish with feta
Take the pan off the heat, crumble over the feta and serve.
A useful detail
Weigh the pasta before boiling. The added water changes its weight, but the recipe estimate uses the original 80 g dry portion.
About these recipes and nutrition estimates
These are simple Selfboost recipe ideas, with one example serving each. Your appetite and energy needs can be different. A varied diet matters across the day and week; every meal does not need to contain every food group.
Calories and nutrients are calculated from the listed ingredient weights using the Food Library’s representative USDA records. Raw, dry, cooked and drained weights are marked separately. All listed oil is included. Optional seasonings and garnishes are excluded. Brands, cooking losses and portion sizes change the result; use a product’s label for its specific values.
Preparation times are estimates and include any ready-cooked ingredients noted in the recipe. Photographs are serving inspiration; follow the ingredient list for the recipe and portion.

- NHS Eatwell Guide — variety and balance across meals.
- FoodSafety.gov cooking temperatures — chicken, fish and eggs.
- Food Standards Agency food safety guidance — handling and reheating rice.
