Savory Medjool Date-Nut Pasta

Toast the walnuts in a hot pan. Set aside. Wash the spinach leaves, spin dry and chop. Toss the dates and the spinach leaves together in a large bowl with the walnuts, ⅓ cup olive oil, feta cheese, lemon juice and pepper. Set aside.

In a small skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil and sauté the garlic slices for about 30 seconds. Remove garlic and add breadcrumbs to the pan and cook over medium heat until lightly browned.

Cook the pasta in salted water until tender, following package directions.

Drain. Toss the spinach mixture with the cooked pasta and season to taste.

Divide among plates and sprinkle on top with toasted breadcrumbs.
