Cooking the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
Making the Sauce

- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.

Combining

- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
