Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables
While the pasta is cooking, wash and chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
Add Remaining Ingredients
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, spinach, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
Combine with Pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
