1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add the Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
4
Add Spinach
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
5
Combine Pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the tomato and spinach mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, add fresh basil for extra flavor.
6
Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve immediately while hot.
