Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, minced

20 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

200 g baby spinach

400 g dried fusilli pasta

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

50 g grated Pecorino Romano cheese

2 tablespoons capers

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 10 minutes.

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and capers, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. If needed, add a splash of water to help the spinach wilt.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Add the cooked fusilli to the frying pan with the spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture.

Toss the pasta in the pan with the grated Pecorino Romano cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a light sauce that coats the pasta.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with extra cheese on the side if desired.
