To make the garlic and olive oil pasta, you need to heat two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet until it is almost browned. To do this, remove two cloves of crushed garlic from the clove (about three teaspoons) and add them to the skillet with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. To get an exact color around your pasta platter, try using small pieces of green bell pepper sprinkled in between each shape of noodles. Add your pre-cooked penne noodles into it first, followed by fresh spinach leaves, which are then sautéed in other clumps until they have bright green color to them. Continue cooking the pasta and spinach over medium heat, occasionally stirring until they are nicely wilted and have a nice color.
