  3. Add in the spinach and sauté until it begins to wilt. Then add the olives, feta, capers, and roasted red peppers. Stir the mixture together.

  4. Add in the cooked pasta, a bit at a time, stirring to combine with the existing mixture.

  5. Heat until pasta is warmed through and well combined. Season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.
