Step 1
Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes; cook until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add 1/2 lb shrimp to the skillet; cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Add 3 cups baby spinach and the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss with a splash of reserved pasta water until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
