This vibrant penne with green olives and feta is a wonderful example of how simple, high-quality Mediterranean ingredients can create a deeply satisfying vegetarian meal. The dish brings together earthy wilted greens and salty Kalamata olives, all brought to life with a zesty gremolata of fresh parsley and lemon peel. By using a splash of the starchy pasta cooking water, the olive oil and feta melt into a light, silky sauce that coats every tube of penne perfectly.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a nutritious weekend lunch, this recipe is incredibly versatile. You can use whatever leafy greens are in season, from tender spinach to robust kale or peppery broccoli rabe. Served warm in shallow bowls with an extra drizzle of cold-pressed olive oil, it is a healthy, homemade feast that feels both light and comforting. It is a fantastic way to pack more greens into your diet without compromising on bold, savoury flavour.
