Garlic 4 cloves
Heavy Cream 1 cup
Parmesan ½ cup, grated

  1. Cook pasta in heavily salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add spinach in large handfuls, stirring between each until wilted. It will look like a mountain before it cooks down.
