Ingredients:
¾ pound macaroni pasta
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
One 9-ounce bag spinach
Salt and pepper
6 ounces goat cheese, broken into chunks
¾ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Directions:
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving ¼ cup cooking water, and return to the pot.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, spinach and the reserved pasta water and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir into the pasta along with the goat cheese. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle the walnuts on top.
