Notes: I usually use the large corkscrew pasta istead of fusilli.
10
Actually, I've made it with several kinds of pasta--whatever I have on hand.
11
Even egg noodles worked fine.
12
Strangely, fusilli was my least favorite pasta to make this with.
13
Also, I use the chopped garlic that comes in a jar.

And thawed, frozen spinach works fine--you'll need much less of the reserved water.
