kosher salt
1 lb fusilli, ie. plain corkscrew
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
5 cups baby spinach leaves, chopped (5 ounces)
4 teaspoons fresh ground pepper, divided
salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups grated pecorino romano cheese (6 ounces)
1 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (8 ounces)
3/4 cup reserved pasta water

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta.
2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the spinach and 2 teaspoons pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute.
3
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the pasta. Add the Pecorino Romano cheese and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper, and toss until coated. *I did not add salt.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved cooking liquid and the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Pour over the pasta and toss until coated. Season with salt, if desired.
5
Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and serve.
6
Serve with sliced summer tomatoes and a crusty bread.
