Answer 1

Boil your pasta add spinach when pasta cools, then add cesear dressing. If you want to jazz it up you can add pine nuts, cranberrys etc...

If your "pasta" is not bowtie, substitute what you do have.

Answer 4

i'm italian (sicilian) and i can't even think of how pasta would go with spinach....

keep em seperate...

drain the spinach....saute it in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, some fresh garlic, and sprinkle very lightly some bread crumbs on it...

voila...delicious

the pasta...you know what to do with that

Answer 5

You could boil up the pasta and steam the spinach.

Then mix them together with some pasta sauce (jarred or canned if you want it quick) then grate some mozzarella (or any cheese really) on top and bake it in the oven.  It's like a lasagna but not as much prep work.

Good luck!
