A sun-kissed villa on the edge of town, with bottles of fresh olive oil and not-fresh wine accompanying the many-course meal you eat outside by the sparkling lake. A Greek bistro down by the water, all salty olives and feta, as the breeze coming off the sea lifts your lungs with salty delight. It's all under the sun of the Mediterranean, and a bit of that loveliness is found in this pasta, with fresh spinach, briny feta, and punchy banana peppers. Villas, bistros… a pot and a pan and a colander are all you need to find your Mediterranean bliss right here. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Meat lovers! If using protein, cook in a large non-stick pan before starting sauce. Transfer to a plate and reserve pan for sauce; no need to wipe clean. Stir protein into pasta in Step 4. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Season all over with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. If using ground turkey, combine with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook over medium-high heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. Break into small pieces with a spoon until no pink remains, 7-9 minutes.
