Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add halved grape tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking until tomatoes are soft and bursting, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
