Method
- In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente (about 9–11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes if using. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, but not burnt.
- Stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with garlic and spinach. Toss well to combine and coat in the garlic oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss again to mix evenly.
- Plate the spaghetti and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes
Make it heartier with grilled chicken or shrimp, or keep it vegan by skipping the cheese. Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge, and reheat with a splash of olive oil to retain moisture.
