here goes recipe #3. one of my favs from miss giada. so easy to make and mighty tasty.

Fusili w/ Spinach and Asiago cheese

Ingredients

• 1 pound fusilli pasta - to get a little bit of healthy added too, i usually use the barilla PLUS pasta which has protein, omega 3's (gotta get your omega 3's!!), & fiber. but any fusilli pasta tastes great w/ this dish=).
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced - well you should know i love me my garlic, so i always add an extra clove or two..
• 1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped - it may look like a lot of spinach, but y'know greens wilt up fast! so i add an extra bag for more veggies.
• 8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, halved - since i'm usually shopping at costco, they don't always carry cherry tomatoes. i've substituted grape tomatoes and it still turns out yummy!
• 1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago -nothing wrong w/ adding a little more cheese too if you want. but if i add more cheese than i save a little more of the cooking liquid (mentioned in directions below) too just to balance things out 
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

-sometimes i add strips of grilled chicken to the pasta. just lightly seasoned w/ olive oil, garlic powder, salt, & pepper. yum yum!

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve. (serves 4)

Enjoy!!!
