and gooooood:

You need:

half a box angel hair pasta
1/2 cup butter or olive oil or
whatever you use for butter
large bag frozen spinach
1 cup shredded cheddar (or your fav)
cheese
three fat cloves garlic
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste.

Put water on for pasta.
While it heats smash and chop garlic;
Cook spinach in the microwave
(Just put the frozen spinach in a
covered glass dish, don't add water,
just a little salt if you like)
Press as much water as possible out
of the cooked spinach. ( I do it ahead
of time so it is cool then literally take
handfuls of it and squeeeeeze it over
the sink.)

Cook pasta for 3-4 minutes, then dump
it in collander to drain.
Put butter and garlic in the hot pasta pot
(I have an electric range so I just turn mine
off when the pasta is done and the residual
heat is all I need to finish the dish. If you cook
with gas, just turn the heat to low when the pasta is
finished.)

Sautee garlic for about a minute. You want it cooked but
not brown.

Dump the pasta in the pot, add salt and pepper, and mix well, adding bits of
drained chopped spinach while you mix. Sprinkle parm in and keep mixing. Add
shredded cheddar and keep mixing until it is melted or melty.

Serve with extra parm on the side.

This dish is surprisingly light and satisfying. You can play with the
amounts of cheese to suit your taste. I probably use less than the amounts
listed above, but I never measure so it is hard to know.

It's great to keep around for the work week for whenever anyone wants to
grab a hot snack or quick meal. AND--people who will not eat spinach on its
own (like my husband) will often eat this.

(It is also good--GREAT, even--with diced frest tomatoes tossed in at the
end, just heated, not cooked, so they stay sweet.)
