This recipe is for all spinach lovers. Start by cooking your favorite pasta and set it aside. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it simmer for a few minutes before stirring in the heavy cream, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if you like a little kick). Toss in the chopped spinach and cook until it softens. Season with salt and pepper, then mix in your cooked pasta. Finish it off with some grated parmesan for a creamy, cheesy texture.
