Creating Delicious Spinach Tomato Pasta is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Tomatoes: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Stir in Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir well until the spinach wilts, which takes about 2 minutes.
6. Season the Mixture: In the skillet, season with red pepper flakes (if using), salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well.
7. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
8. Add Cheese: If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the pasta.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
10. Serve Immediately: Your Delicious Spinach Tomato Pasta is ready! Serve it hot for best results.
