Steps

1. Cook the pasta according to the package, until al dente (firm, not limp).
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil at medium heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic, salt and crushed red pepper. Cook until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the spinach and combine until heated throughout.
4. Meanwhile, drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Put the hot liquid into the pan, add the drained pasta, stir to combine. Top with Parmesan and pine nuts.
