Ingredients
12 oz pasta (penne, linguine, or spaghetti)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cups fresh spinach
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
Sauté Garlic: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Ingredients: Add pasta, cherry tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Spinach: Stir in spinach during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, letting it wilt.
Finish: When pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve: Top with Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.

Add canned white beans or grilled chicken for extra protein.
Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
Swap in kale or arugula for spinach if preferred.
