Directions

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. While it's cooking, heat the oil oil in a large skillet. Saute the chopped garlic until soft and golden, about two minutes. Add cleaned, chopped spinach as well as halved grape or cherry tomatoes. Cook on medium heat until tomatoes are fully softened and spinach is wilted.

Add to cooked and drained pasta and mix. Sprinkle in grated cheeses. The asiago cheese is a stronger cheese than parmesian so you could add less than the recipe called for.

Salt and pepper to taste.

This was very good! I added some canned chicken and only used parmesan cheese because I didn't have any asiago. Very yummy meal! - 3/8/10
