Amount  Measure Ingredient      Preparation Method
2       large   sweet onions    such as vidalia
                olive oil
2       pounds  fresh spinach   OR
                mixed bitter greens     such as swiss chard
3/4     pound   feta cheese     preferably greek
12      ounces  elbow macaroni  white or whole wheat
                boiling water

Chop the onion coarsely; set aside.  Pick over the greens, wash and
tear into large pieces; set aside in a colander.  Dice feta cheese.
Bring a large pot of water to boil for the macaroni.

Begin to cook the macaroni; do not drain.  In a dutch oven, heat olive
oil; add chopped onions and saute until soft.  Do not brown.  Add
greens and cover pot;  cook for several minutes, stirring once or
twice, until spinach is cooked down.   Add feta cubes and cook,
stirring constantly, until feta is completely melted.   As soon as
macaroni is al dente, lift pasta with a strainer or large slotted
spoon directly from the pasta water into the spinach and feta mixture.
Stir to combine well; the spinach has a tendency to clump.

Here is another spinach recipe.  We've never tried this one, but what
could be bad?  We *love* pesto.
