Easy pasta with peanut sauce

If you like peanut butter as much as I do, here's a recipe that can be ready in 15 minutes and is a nice change from tomato sauce.

Easy pasta with peanut sauce

whole wheat pasta
natural peanut butter (no extra oils or sugars)
garlic
red bell pepper, chopped
milk (or coconut milk)
curry powder
ground cayenne pepper
spinach 
olive oil

Boil pasta according to directions. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and add large handfuls of spinach, stirring continuously until the leaves are just wilted. Set aside. In the same pan, over low heat, stir together one or two large spoonfuls of peanut butter and a little milk. As the peanut butter melts, add milk a little at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency. Add red pepper. Stir in garlic, curry and cayenne according to taste. Add the spinach back in, and follow with pasta until everything is well heated and mixed together.
