2 ounces baby spinach
04 -
1 small onion, finely sliced

# How to Make It:
01 -
Place linguine, cherry tomatoes, spinach, onions, garlic, and basil in a large deep pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with crushed red pepper flakes and salt.
02 -
Pour boiling water into the pan and bring to a boil. Simmer on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with tongs, until most of the water has evaporated and a sauce forms.
03 -
Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
# Extra Information:
01 -
For a dairy-free version, omit Parmesan or use a vegan substitute such as nutritional yeast. Use gluten-free pasta for gluten-free preparation. Adding milk instead of some water will yield a creamier sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
