- 2 cups cleaned and sliced mushrooms
- 4 cups washed baby spinach

Method
Cook pasta according to package instructions.
Sauté garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes, being careful to not burn it, then add mushrooms.
Cook until mushrooms are just tender. Set aside.
Place spinach into a colander.
When pasta is cooked, pour it with its cooking water over the spinach in the colander.
As the pasta drains, its heat will wilt the spinach.
