A few simple steps.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook following the pack instructions. Reserve a mug of cooking water before draining.

Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add finely chopped garlic and stir for 30 seconds without browning.
- 03
Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Stir in the spinach until wilted. Add the drained pasta and a splash of reserved water. Toss, divide into two bowls and finish with grated Parmesan.
A note from the kitchen
Add pasta water a little at a time so the sauce coats the pasta without becoming watery.
