Ingredients

For Pasta

  • 8 oz. chickpea pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 12 oz. cubed sirloin beef
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup halved artichoke hearts drained
  • ¼ cup sliced kalamata olives
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

For Dressing

  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper

For Serving

  • 1 cup cubed pineapple
  • 1 cup cubed cantaloupe
  • ½ cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF and lightly grease an 8x11 casserole dish. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  • While pasta cooks, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium skillet for 2 minutes. Season beef with salt and pepper. Add beef to skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Turn beef using tongs and add spinach to the skillet. Cook 2 minutes longer to wilt spinach. Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare.
  • Drain pasta and add to the casserole dish. Stir together ingredients for dressing. Pour half of the dressing over warm pasta and toss to coat. Stir in steak and spinach. Top with olives, tomatoes and kalamata olives. Pour remaining dressing over vegetables. Top with crumbled feta cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
  • Divide pasta between large compartments of 4 teal meal prep containers. Add fruit salad to small compartments.
