Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender (7-10 min).
  2. Cook both the diced onion and minced garlic in a large skillet with olive oil on medium-low heat until caramelized. Then add the diced tomatoes (with juices), oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, add the tomato paste and 1/2 Cup of water to the skillet, then stir until the tomato paste is dissolved into the sauce.
  3. Turn the heat down to low. Cut the cream cheese into a few pieces and then add them to the skillet along with the spinach. Use a whisk to stir the sauce until the cream cheese has fully combined. Let sit with lid on for 3-5min.
  4. Pour the pasta into the skillet and stir to mix with the sauce. Serve, and top with parmesan and spinach.
