Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, stir together half the olive oil, the onion, half the garlic, the oregano and the red pepper flakes.
Stir in the pasta, tomatoes-canned (the diced tomatoes with their juice), chicken broth, half the salt and the black pepper, making sure the pasta is submerged.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes, until the pasta is nearly tender.
Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil, remaining garlic, lemon zest and remaining salt.
Uncover the dish, stir in the spinach until it wilts, then arrange the shrimp on top and scatter the feta over.
Bake uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the pasta is tender.
Drizzle with the lemon juice, sprinkle with the dill and serve hot.
