I'm a meat and potatoes guy...or meat and pasta...or meat and rice. I like meat. But I tried this no-meat recipe and it is out of this world. So I wanted to share it.
Spinach and Feta Pita Bake
Ingredients
Original recipe yields 6 servings
1 (6 ounce) tub sun-dried tomato pesto
6 (6 inch) whole wheat pita breads
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch spinach, rinsed and chopped
4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
ground black pepper to taste

Spread tomato pesto onto one side of each pita bread and place them pesto-side up on a baking sheet. Top pitas with tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, feta cheese, and Parmesan cheese; drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until pita breads are crisp, about 12 minutes. Cut pitas into quarters.

If vegan so I will substitute either Follow Your Heart or Vio-Life Parmesan. I cant believe I havent had this in over 5 years! I use to buy Trader Joe Bruschetta sauce in a jar. But pesto sounds great 🙂

(18,276 posts)I have three basil plants that today I had to prune down to nothing. Its my first garden and I didnt know that if you let it grow like crazy and bolt (have blossoms) the leaves get so so strong and peppery that you cant use them. I should have been pruning along and along and picking leaves and drying them and storing in jars 🤪. Live and learn.
This one from Sprouts and Ive also bought vegan pesto from Wholefoods and a really good one from Trader Joes. 🙂

(16,440 posts)It's not exactly on my way anywhere but they were one of the first stores here to put protocols in place for covid shopping. And they seem to always have the items I need. I wasn't a Sprouts fan at first (different location) but I have enjoyed them more lately.
Thank for the tip!
