Instructions

  1. 1 Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over low heat. (Use a 10-inch skillet if you halve the recipe to serve 2 instead of 4.) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in feta.
  2. 2 In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together, then stir in spinach, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper to taste. A few minutes before cooking omelet, add oil to the pan, and increase heat to medium-high. Heat until wisps of smoke start to rise from the pan. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Using a plastic or wooden spatula to push back the eggs that have set, tilt the pan and let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the empty portion of the pan. Continue pushing back cooked eggs, tilting the pan and letting uncooked egg mixture flow onto the empty portion of the pan until omelet is moist but fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour the tomato mixture over half of the omelet. Using a slotted, flat spatula or turner, carefully fold the untopped half over the filling. Use the turner to slide the omelet onto a cutting board. Let stand a minute or two for the filling to warm.
  3. 3 Cut the omelet into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

Place another phyllo sheet over buttered phyllo sheet; press phyllo sheets together. Cut layered phyllo sheets into long strips about 3-inches wide. (Keep remaining stack phyllo sheets covered with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.)
  4. 4 Lay 1 phyllo strip on the work surface with 1 narrow end facing you. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling 1 inch from the narrow end. Fold the bottom right corner over the filling to the left edge to form a triangle. Fold the triangle up the strip, bringing the point at the bottom left up to rest along the left edge. Turn the lower left corner over to touch the right edge. Continue turning the triangle over in this manner until you reach the end of the phyllo. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 (buttering, stacking, pressing, cutting, filling, and folding) with remaining phyllo and filling.

  2. 2 Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add rib-eye; sear on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer steak to a cutting board; cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. 3 Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add shallots and garlic; cook until fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Return steak to the skillet; cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes more. Stir in soy sauce; cook until evaporated, 3 to 5 seconds.
  4. 4 Off heat, stir in spinach, pesto, olives, feta cheese, sunflower kernels, parsley, and basil; transfer to a large bowl. Add pasta; toss and serve.
