Preparation Steps

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • While spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until it wilts. Pour in the vegetable broth.
  • Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to combine with the spinach mixture.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too dry, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Serve immediately.
