Creating your 20-Minute Green Pasta with Spinach Sauce can be easy and enjoyable if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt and the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

3. Add Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Sauté until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Stir to combine, allowing it to warm through.

5. Mix in Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast) to the sauce. Stir until well combined and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated in the spinach sauce.

7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. If desired, garnish with chopped nuts for added texture.
