I use frozen spinach for this recipe because it makes it harder for my daughter to pick it out. Feel free to substitute fresh spinach if you want.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. While you're waiting for the noodles to cook, prep the sauce.
2

Add the olive oil, shallot, garlic, pepper flakes, a good pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper to a small pot and put it on low heat. Let infuse for 5 minutes then take the pot off the heat.
3

Drain the noodles once they're cooked, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Toss the noodles with the sauce, spinach and cheese. Add extra salt as needed. If the pasta gets too clumpy, loosen it with a bit of pasta water. Drizzle with a bit more extra virgin olive oil before serving.
