Dinner Tonight: Easy Spinach and Basil Pasta Salad

- Cook the pasta as indicated on the box. Drain, rinse and let cool.
- In a big bowl, combine the spinach and the basil.
- In a frying pan, over heat olive oil over medium heat and add garlic. Do not let the garlic burn. After a minute or so, add the chopped prosciutto and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Take everything off the burner.
- Add the olive oil/garlic/prosciutto mixture to the basil and spinach, and toss all together. This wilts the spinach and basil slightly, so they still retain their high nutritional content.
- Add the cooked pasta (or beans), and toss. Sprinkle with parmesan and pine nuts.
