👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the campanelle pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, tossing frequently, until it wilts completely, which takes about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Drain the cooked campanelle, reserving about half a cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the skillet with the spinach mixture.
5. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce and ensure the pasta is well-coated. Serve immediately.
