6. Mix in Spinach: Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
7. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until well combined.
8. Season to Taste: Season with salt and black pepper as desired. Cook for another minute to heat through.
