Cook the pasta in salted boiling water. Prepare the other ingredients while it boils. Once cooked, drain the pasta and reserve.
Wash and cook the spinach as necessary. We’ll usually give it 3-4 minutes in the microwave.Once cooked, drain and eliminate as much water as possible.Chop the spinach finely and incorporate the chopped garlic.
Heat the oil in a large skillet (we use a flat-bottom wok).Add the pine nuts and saute until they are lightly browned (be careful! they burn easily).
Reduce heat to low and add the spinach/garlic combination, cook for three additional minutes.
Add the reserved pasta and toss.Season to taste with salt and pepper (the cheese is salty, so we don’t ever add any salt).
Add half the cheese and toss. Add the remainder of the cheese and toss again.Transfer as necessary to a serving dish (or plate individually). Garnish with additional grated Parm-Reg as desired.
