Linguine With Spinach image

This tasty dish - adapted from The Minimalist Cooks Dinner, by Mark Bittman (Broadway Books, 2001) - uses a good amount of spinach, which is great for boosting pregnancy-needed vitamins and minerals such as iron and folate. Spinach also contains more protein than most vegetables.

1 lb regular spaghetti or 1 lb multigrain spaghetti
1 -2 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

I'm not a fan of spinach, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the spinach added a nice texture.
