Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, rinse under cold running water, and put it in the refrigerator to chill.

In a small dry skillet, toast the walnuts over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool, the chop coarsely.

In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, walnuts, feta, onion and spinach leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic and mustard. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. This salad will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about a day.
