| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Linguine: Cook linguine according to package directions, ensuring it’s al dente. Remember not to drain the pasta just yet. 🍝 |
| 2 | Prep Spinach: While the linguine is cooking, cut the fresh spinach into 1/4-inch strips. Once the linguine is ready, add the spinach to the pot with the pasta and water. 🌿 |
| 3 | Wilt Spinach: Allow the spinach to cook with the pasta for about 30 seconds or until it’s wilted. Then, drain the pasta and spinach mixture, and set it aside. |
| 4 | Prepare Sauce: In the same pan used for cooking the pasta, combine the whole tomatoes (including their juice) and tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together. 🍅 |
| 5 | Season: Once the sauce is simmering, add the Italian seasoning, giving it a quick stir to incorporate the flavors evenly. 🧂 |
| 6 | Combine and Toss: Add the cooked linguine and spinach mixture back into the pan with the tomato sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. 🍝 |
| 7 | Serve: Divide the Linguine With Spinach & Tomatoes among serving plates, ensuring each portion is generously topped with shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors! 🍽️ |
