1 tablespoonlemon juice

2 tablespoonsparsley

½ cupparmesan cheese

freshly grated

2 cupsfresh baby spinach

Instructions

Step 1

Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the hot pasta water prior to draining the pasta.

Step 2

When the pasta is about 8-10 minutes away from being done, add the oil and garlic to a skillet over medium heat. Once the garlic starts to sizzle, give it a stir and cook for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the mackerel, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice to the pan. Let it heat through for a few minutes.

Step 4

Add the drained pasta, spinach, parsley, and parmesan to the skillet. Toss (this is easy with tongs or 2 large spoons), slowly adding pasta water (as needed… you won't use it all) and continuously tossing until the spinach has wilted and the parmesan cheese has melted into the sauce.

Step 5

Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
