Spinach Garlic Whole Wheat Pasta

• 2 cups whole wheat rotini, dry
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 -6 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
• 1 slice onion, finely chopped
• salt & pepper
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 4 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted

1. Bring water to boil in medium pot & cook rotini according to package directions.
2. While pasta is boiling, in a large skillet warm the olive oil on a low temperature with the garlic and onion. The point is to impart flavor into the oil, not to cook the garlic & onion quickly. About 2 minutes before the pasta will be finished, turn the heat up to medium, to turn the garlic & onion golden.
3. Drain the pasta, add it to the the olive oil in the skillet, and toss in the spinach. Keep the heat on medium, and stir for 1-2 minutes until everything is mixed and warmed through.
4. Serve onto plates, add 1 teaspoon pine nuts on top of each serving.
