In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).

Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Next, add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts down—this should take about 2 minutes.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Combine everything meticulously and add a splash of reserved pasta water to moisten everything if it appears a little dry.

Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and toss thoroughly. For an extra touch, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese at this step for creaminess.

Plate your pasta and enjoy the beautiful combination of flavors!
