Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to brown it, as burnt garlic can ruin the flavor.

Toss in the chopped spinach. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to wilt down and release its moisture.

Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the spinach and garlic. Mix well, and add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve your desired sauce consistency.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, along with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese or toppings of your choice.
