Ingredients
- 8 ounces penne pasta or your preferred pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups grape tomatoes halved
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 4 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add halved grape tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking until tomatoes are soft and bursting, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
