serves 6
by Nancy

Ingredients

  • 1- pound spaghetti
  • 1- pound cherry tomatoes halved about 2 pints
  • 2 lemons zested
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 bunch spinach
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • parmesan for serving

Instructions

  1. bring just over a quart of water to a boil.
  2. meanwhile, place spaghetti, tomatoes, lemon zest, oil and salt in a large, dry, shallow pan. (the pan should be large enough that the dry spaghetti can lie flat.)
  3. add the hot water to the pan with the spaghetti.
  4. cover pan and bring up to a boil.
  5. remove lid and simmer for about 6 minutes, using tongs to move the spaghetti around now and then so it doesn’t stick.
  6. add spinach and continue cooking until remaining liquid has reduced to a sauce and the pasta is cooked through.
  7. taste, season and top with cheese.
