New Year's Day Improv: Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes on Pasta

I boiled a pound of spaghetti. While it was cooking I defrosted a pound of cut leaf spinach in a frying pan. I added some leftover bean liquid from yesterday's kidney beans (totally unnecessary but it was there). I added a bulb of garlic freshly chopped with kosher salt, a bloop of jug Chianti, a bloop of olive oil, and dried chili flakes. I simmered it all until the liquid was gone. I chopped about five sun-dried tomatoes from a jar into slivers and added them to the spinach mixture. We ate the green sauce on top of the pasta and it was fabulous. We had dried figs and Bengal spice herb tea for dessert.
