- Remove from skillet, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat olive oil over low heat.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Make sure to leave this on low heat and swirl the pan so you do not burn the garlic.
- Next add the tomato sauce and salt and stir.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is simmering, the pasta should be finished cooking, so drain it and set aside.
- In a separate pan or grill pan over medium-high heat, heat and cook the mushroom caps until charred and grill marks appear on both sides.
- Set aside.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add spinach, pasta and cheese.
- Toss with tongs until well coated.
