Plain & Fancy Pasta

Here is an easy pasta dish, that you and your kids will like.  This dish really lets the pasta be the showcase by  not overpowering it with a sauce.  


Ingredients
l lbs of pasta of your choice (I used basic spaghetti)
6 TBS of butter (unsalted)
1TBS of garlic powder (can use fresh)
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
6 oz of fresh spinach
Chunk of hard Italian Cheese
(I used Piave vecchio)
Start your pasta according to package instructions.





While pasta is cooking, get large saute pan on preheat on
medium. 
Melt your butter.


Add your spinach to the butter to start to wilt.
It should be about 2 1/2 minutes.
Get all Paula Dean on the spinach leaves.
Half way through add your garlic powder.
(if you want more then add more)
Your pasta should almost be done so turn up the heat to medium
high.  Add your can of tomato sauce and mix.
Drain your pasta (don't rinse) and quickly add to the pan.
Mix together and keep it moving to avoid pasta sticking to the pan.
After it is all mixed well remove from heat.
Plate your pasta and garnish with shreds of your Italian cheese.
Shred it over the plate.  Again you can add as little or as much
as you want.
Now ENJOY!!!
If you would like a little wine with your meal get a nice
dry Rose.
