Creamy Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes

1. Here are a few tips to make the best pasta. Salt the pasta water. This adds flavor to the pasta. Use one tablespoon of salt for every six cups of water.
2. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions. After mixing with the hot cream sauce, the pasta will cook a little. Cooking it al dente prevents soggy pasta.
3. Save some cooked pasta water. Once tossed with the pasta, add it back to help loosen up the sauce, if needed. It also adds a bit of flavor.
