Spinach & Feta pasta
You need: an onion, a couple cloves of garlic, 1 lb frozen spinach, ~1/5 - 1/4 lb feta, <<1 tsp nutmeg, black pepper, ~1/4 cup dried dillweed, ~1 tbl pine nuts.

Roast the pine nuts by dumping them into a pan and stirring them almost constantly until they brown. Immediately take them out of the pan and into a bowl.

Chop & saute the onion for 3-5 minutes, dump in the garlic & saute a minute or two longer, dump in the spinach and maybe a few drops of water to help it thaw faster. Stir often to make sure it thaws evenly. When it's heated, add the spices and pine nuts. Serve over pasta and crumble the feta on top.
