Notes
Boil pasta for two minutes less than indicated on the package; we will cook it later with spinach and prawns.
If you don't like the texture of the garlic, you can cut it in halves to aromatize the oil and then remove it from the oil in the end.
To be easier to mix the spinach with the rest of the ingredients, cover the frying pan with a lid for about 20-30 seconds. Because of the steam, the spinach leaves will soften and will reduce their size.
