Bow-Ties with Asiago Cheese & Spinach

Ingredients
3 cups boiling water
4 oz. sun-dried tomatoes (about ¼ cup)
1 lb. bow-tie pasta
3 T. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 10-oz. bag fresh spinach, torn
1 ½ cups Asiago cheese, grated
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Combine boiling water and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl; let stand about 25 minutes.  Cook pasta according to package directions.  While pasta is boiling, drain and chop tomatoes; combine with oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and spinach in large bowl.  When pasta is done, drain quickly and add to vegetable mixture (spinach will wilt).  Sprinkle with cheeses, toss gently, and serve immediately.
