  heat. Add 1 yellow onion (diced) and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until
  softened. Add 3 garlic cloves (minced) and cook for 1 minute, stirring
  constantly, so it doesn't burn.

  the pan. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook,
  stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Add
  extra water during the cooking process if looking a little dry.
• 3 Add 3 cups baby spinach leaves, ½ cup heavy cream, and ½ cup shredded
  mozzarella. Stir until the spinach has wilted and the mozzarella has melted.
  Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
• 4 Add in ¼ cup chopped basil and ¼ cup grated parmesan and serve.
