• Add the diced tomatoes with juices, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
• Stir to combine. Add the tomato paste and a 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and stir until the tomato paste is dissolved into the sauce.
• Turn the heat down to low. Cut the cream cheese into a few pieces and then add them to the skillet with the tomato sauce.
• Use a whisk to stir the sauce until the cream cheese has fully melted in and the sauce is creamy.
• Add half of the parmesan to the skillet and whisk until it is melted inches Add the remainder of the parmesan and whisk until melted in again.
• Add the fresh spinach and gently stir it into the sauce until it has wilted (3 to 5 minutes). Add the pasta and stir until it is well coated with the creamy tomato sauce.
• Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
