Directions
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Spray with nonostick vegetable coating.
When the skillet gets very hot, add the mushrooms, spreading out thinly.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to brown.
Toss and cook for 2 minutes more.
You want them to brown and not get watery.
Turn off the heat and reserve until the pasta is cooked.
When the pasta is al dente, drain in a colander and return to the cooking pot.
Toss with the olive oil. Add the spinach, garlic, stock, olives, and the mushrooms.
Toss well to mix.
Place on individual plates or a serving platter and top with feta cheese and the almonds.
