Pasta thing I have made several times to delicious results and the awe of others:
1. Boil pasta to just slightly al dente texture. I like fettucine or penne. I think spaghetti's too thin but anything else should do the job.
2. In a reasonably large frying pan, fry chopped garlic and onions in olive oil until the onions sweat. I like to put sausage in this so that or other meaty things can be added and cooked at this time.
3. Put the drained pasta in the pan with the other stuff. Add a can of diced tomatoes mostly drained of its juice. Let it all heat up and add a handful or two of blanched spinach (you take the fresh spinach and pour boiling water over it and presto--blanched. then squeeze out the massive amounts of water before adding it to the other food). Stir that in. Drizzle it all with some more olive oil if you want. Season to taste. Add parmesan. Stuff self with deliciousness. Modify ingredients at your whim.
I heavily modified this from something I used to eat at Olive Garden
