Cook pasta in boiling water according to package instructions.
Peel and mince or finely chop garlic cloves.
If you use fresh spinach, chop it with a food processor into tiny pieces. If you use frozen spinach puree, let it thaw before using it.
Making creamy spinach pasta sauce
Heat a frying pan or wok on medium heat and add olive oil.
Add minced/finely chopped garlic and stir. Saute for 1 minute.
Add chopped spinach. Mix well and saute for 1 minute.
Add heavy cream (we used a dairy-free version) and Parmesan (we used nutritional yeast). Stir well and bring it to a boil. Approx. another 1 minute.
Take a long thin container and use an immersion blender to make it extra smooth and creamy. (You can skip this step if you don't mind small spinach bites.)
Drain the cooked pasta and mix it with the creamy spinach sauce. Serve it while hot!
