   One special recipe you can add to spaghetti is a creamy garlic and spinach sauce. Here’s a quick recipe for it:

   Creamy Garlic Spinach Spaghetti

   Ingredients:
   – 12 oz spaghetti
   – 4 cloves garlic, minced
   – 4 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed)
   – 1 cup heavy cream (or a dairy alternative)
   – 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
   – 2 tbsp olive oil
   – Salt and pepper to taste
   – Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat

   Instructions:

   1. Cook the Spaghetti: Boil water in a large pot, add salt, and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

   2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

   3. Add the Spinach: If using fresh spinach, add it directly to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. If using frozen, just stir it in until warmed through.

   4. Make the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and creamy.

   5. Combine: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice.

   6. Serve: Plate the spaghetti and top with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh spinach if desired.

   This creamy, flavorful twist will elevate your spaghetti and impress anyone at the dinner table! Enjoy!
