Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.

2. Begin by boiling a pot of water and cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. While the pasta is cooking, chop the head of cauliflower into small florets. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add the cauliflower to the pan and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.

5. In the same pan, add the bag of fresh spinach and cook until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.

6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cauliflower, and spinach. Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir until evenly distributed.

7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

10. Optional: For an extra crispy and golden top, broil on high for 1-2 minutes before serving.

11. Enjoy your delicious and simple cauliflower cheese & spinach pasta bake! Serve hot and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
