Instructions

Bring salted water to a boil in a pot. Cook pasta to al dente (according to package instructions), before draining reserve 1/4 a cup of the pasta water and place to the side. Drain pasta, rinse (see note), and set aside.
While pasta is cooking. In a Dutch oven or skillet with high sides, over medium heat add 3 tbsp of olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant about 1 minute.
Add broccolini, sun dried tomatoes, and salt/pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften (can cover with lid to assist). Add spinach and add 2 tbsp more olive oil to help spinach wilt.
Once spinach has wilted (about 3-4 min) add rinsed Banza pasta in. Add Parmesan cheese to the pasta and add a few tablespoons of the pasta water to help thin the cheese for it to coat the pasta. If you do not have Parmesan cheese you can omit the pasta water.
Top with crushed red pepper and serve.

Notes

When using chickpea pasta I do not follow the cook time of 9 minutes, I only cook for 7 minutes. Also, I do not typically rinse pasta, but I do rinse chickpea pasta after cooking. If using regular pasta, no need to rinse.
Add a little of reserved pasta water to help thin cheese and help it coat the pasta
