Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and place over high heat to bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve about ½ cup of cooking water, and drain the pasta.
- While you're waiting for the water to boil, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 45-60 seconds).
- Add the tomatoes, basil, salt and a freshly cracked pepper. Sauté the tomatoes until the skins burst and the tomatoes begin to release their juices. Keep the heat to medium-low, stir and make sure the garlic doesn't burn.
- Once the tomatoes begin to break down add the spinach, a large handful at a time, and stir it into the tomatoes until the spinach is wilted but still bright green (it should take max a couple of minutes).
- At this point the tomatoes have created a sauce-like mixture on the bottom of the pan. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the pan, the parmesan cheese and a touch of pasta cooking water. Toss until the pasta is coated in the sticky sauce and everything is combined (you don't need all the reserved cooking water, but use just as much as needed to make everything nice and moist).
- Serve with some grated parmesan cheese, seme freshly cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if you wish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add in the crushed red pepper flakes, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and cook until the tomatoes begin to burst and give off their juices, about 9 to 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to gently press the tomatoes if they're not bursting on their own.
- Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook until slightly wilted.
- In the meantime, add the penne into the boiling water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Toss the pasta immediately into the pot with the sauce and stir well to combine. Add in some of the reserved cooking water, if needed. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove from heat and divide among serving bowls. Top with cheese and serve at once!

SPINACH TOMATO LINGUINE
Chock-full of garden freshness, this colorful toss makes an excellent side dish or meatless entree. "Sometime I substitute penne pasta and add cooked chicken for a heartier main meal," says Rosemary Averkamp of Genoa, Wisconsin. "Using garlic-flavored feta cheese is a great touch."

SPINACH AND TOMATO SAUCE
My mother in-law is an awesome cook and this was the first meal she made for me when my husband and I were dating. Since then anyone I have ever made this for raves about it and makes it themselves. My kids absolutely love it (they are 5 and 7) and the spinach doesn't scare them away. Even our black lab knows when it's being served for dinner and waits to lick the plates, although there is not much left at the end of this meal. .
