Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add hilopites and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and golden, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Add butter and minced garlic. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds — don't let the garlic brown.
Step 3
Add 1.5 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered until pasta is tender and water mostly absorbs, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Pile spinach on top of the pasta and stir until just wilted, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Squeeze lemon juice over the top and stir gently to combine.
Step 6
Divide between bowls and scatter feta over each serving. Serve immediately.
