Directions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in garlic and cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and cherry tomatoes start to burst, about 5 minutes.

  • Toss spinach mixture with cooked spaghetti; stir in lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

Top off with chicken, shrimp, or cheese. When I grill chicken, I usually grill a lot. This is one of the ways I enjoy my leftovers.

Spinach Toss Spaghetti w/ Tomatoes & Garlic Haiku: "Chef V I loved this! Simple to make elegant. (Added grilled chicken.) Per the cook's note I added strips of AR's "Easy Grilled Lemon Chicken" along w/ a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to make this a heartier entree. Subbed grape tomatoes for cherry: different shape same taste cheaper cost IMHO. An easy meal to throw together in no time; I thought it was lovely; thanks Chef V! Read More

The garlic ended up being overcooked - next time I will shorten the amount of time between the garlic and other ingredients. Also I ended up using a lesser amount of lemon as I prefer a more garlicky flavor. Otherwise a great simple dish that I will certainly make again! Read More

Good start but a bit bland for me I'd make it again and add more seasonings. Read More
