      Directions

      Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

      Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.

      Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve.

        My family and I love this recipe. Sooooo good and so easy. It is one dish they request often. I have VERY picky eaters in my family so this is a great way to get them to eat their spinach. I have served it for a light lunch as well as with grilled steak and chicken for dinner and it worked great both ways. I have also subbed brown rotini noodles when that is all I had on hand and still comes out terrific! This dish is a definite MUST TRY!!
