Fast Pasta with Garlic & Fresh Spinach

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set aside, but retain around a cup of the pasta water for later use.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until it turns a light golden color.

Add the fresh spinach to the pan. Cook it until it starts to wilt, which should take about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add a little salt and pepper to the mixture.

Once the spinach has wilted, stir in the previously cooked pasta. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Gradually sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese into the pan and stir it through the pasta and spinach combination.

If the pasta looks a little dry, add a dash of the retained pasta water. Continue to cook the pasta for another 2 minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld together brilliantly.

Remove your pan from the heat, let the pasta rest for a short while, then serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of parmesan and a dash of pepper.
