How to Make Garlic Spaghetti With Spinach

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the spaghetti cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper to the saucepan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Add the spaghetti to a large serving bowl.
  5. Add the garlic mixture, 5 ounces of fresh spinach (roughly chopped), 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste to the bowl. Toss to combine.
  6. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
