2 Meanwhile, cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 1½ cups liquid.
3 Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, dried herbs and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Add spinach and cook for 3 minutes or until wilted. Add reserved pasta water. Using a handheld blender, blend until combined and smooth.
