  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the capellini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

    Add Spinach and Sauce

    Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the light tomato sauce, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked capellini pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
