Greek Pasta Casserole step by step

1. Preheat oven to 350°F..
2. Boil pasta al dante according to package directions..
3. As the pasta is boiling, prepare dressing. I just add the ingredients into a large measuring cup..
4. Add the onion, red pepper and cut cherry tomatoes into a large saucepan. Add approximately 1/3 of the dressing (it acts as the oil). Cook on medium heat until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally..
5. Add another 1/3 of the dressing into the pan. Add the spinach. I add the spinach a handful at a time until it wilts, otherwise it might not all fir into the pan at once..
6. Once all the spinach has wilted, mix the contents of the pan with the cooked pasta in a large casserole dish. Add the remaining dressing and the feta cheese. Mix well..
7. Bake covered for 20-30 minutes..
