Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz whole wheat pasta or your favorite pasta
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  4. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving hot.
