# How to Make:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03 - Add roughly chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir continuously until wilted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Reduce heat to low and pour in heavy cream, stirring to incorporate. Allow to simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
05 - Incorporate grated Parmesan, ground nutmeg, black pepper, and salt into the sauce. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved.
07 - Plate immediately, garnishing with additional grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
