parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Boil water in a large pot and add salt until it tastes like the sea.

Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and reserve some pasta water.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in cherry tomatoes and cook until they burst, about 3-4 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Combine the cooked pasta with the tomato-spinach mixture.

Add reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a sauce, if needed.

Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Season with black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
