Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent browning.
Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces by half and the alcohol evaporates, leaving a light sauce.
Step 4: Add 2 cups fresh spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted and tender.
Step 5: Return the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss with 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, salt to taste, and black pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats each strand of pasta.
Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
