Garlic broccoli and spinach pasta

This dish is exactly what the title says it is- pasta with broccoli and spinach in a garlic olive oil.  I end up making this a decent amount because I almost always have all the right ingredients on hand.  In fact, I made this up one night when I really needed to go grocery shopping but didn't feel like it, so I started throwing stuff in a pan.  And voilà! The pasta was born.

Ingredients:
Pasta (really any kind will do)
Broccoli
Spinach (I tend to use frozen)
Olive Oil
Minced Garlic
Salt
Quorn Chick'n cutlets, cut into bite-sized chunks (optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese

All the proportions can be whatever you want.  I usually use about equal amounts of broccoli and spinach, and then a few cloves of garlic.

Directions:
Start cooking the pasta, then do all the other prep while it's cooking.  If it's done before the other stuff, just drain it and then toss with a little bit of olive oil so the noodles don't stick together.
Heat up a little olive oil on medium heat in a pan and throw in the broccoli (and chick'n, if using.  I started throwing it in because it makes for a more balanced meal). 
Stir around and then cover for about 2 min, stirring once or twice, so the broccoli steams and cooks. 
Add the minced garlic, salt, and spinach, then stir and cover again for a couple minutes. 
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add in some more olive oil.  The trick here is to get the olive oil to pick up some of the flavor, mostly garlic, without being hot enough to start frying everything in the pan. 
Cook for a few more minutes, then mix together with the pasta.
Serve with some grated Parmesan cheese.  Don't skip this; the cheese really enhances it.

On a side note, I have been waiting a week for my red pears to finally be ripe.  I got to eat one last night and it was really really exciting.  Also- sliced pears with sharp cheese (I use extra-sharp cheddar) is extremely delicious- the sweet and tangy work together perfectly.  It's good cold, but try putting a few cheese-topped pear slices in the microwave, just long enough to melt the cheese. Delicious.
