spinach feta pasta

Hi all,
per request, here's the pasta recipe from last night... guess I should have made a double batch.
1 package family size Buitoni (or other) 3 cheese tortellini
1 bag baby spinach
2 lemons/~3/4 cup lemon juice
2-4 cloves garlic/~1tbsp+ minced garlic
a couple forkfulls of capers
small container of crumbled feta
olive oil

Cook pasta according to directions
combine lemon juice, capers,and garlic
Add 3/4 to most of the bag of spinach when there's 1-2 minutes left
Drain pasta and spinach
Add a little olive oil so the pasta doesn't stick together
add the lemon/garlic/caper mixture
add the feta
mix well

Alternatively, you can add the spinach to the hot, drained pasta with everything else and then cover the pot and let it sit a few minutes to steam

Thanks for a great month- hopefully some of our paths will cross again
Take care,
Alli
