Steps

1Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
3Add vegetable broth and the juice of half a lemon to the skillet, bringing it to a simmer.
4Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with the parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
6Toss everything together until well combined, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
