Pasta Onion Spinach Saute

I was inspired by smitten kitchen for this one, but I totally went my own direction.  I didn't even think it would be blog worthy until I got to this part:

Ingredients:

1 C rotini pasta

2 T olive oil

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 yellow onion, diced

1/2 C spinach

ground black peppercorns, to taste

grated gruyere or other cheese or choice, to taste

First, boil water plus 1 T olive oil.  Once boiling, add pasta.  Heat small saute pan.  Then add 1 T olive oil.  Add the chopped onion.  Saute 2-3 minutes.  Then add the garlic.  When the pasta has been boiling for about 7 minutes, places the spinach on top of the onion and garlic mixture.  Stir so the spinach slightly wilts.  Add fresh black peppercorn.

Drain the pasta.  Place in a bowl.  Pour the saute mixture on top of the pasta.  It looks like the picture above.  Then, grate your gruyere.

           Add the cheese on top of the deliciousness.            

     

                                                        
Finally, stir it up and enjoy.
