Total Time:

12 ounces penne or other short pasta
¼ cup olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, torn
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 ounces baby spinach
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon lemon zest
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about ¾ cup)

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
Heat olive oil and prosciutto in a large skillet over medium. Cook, stirring, until prosciutto is crisp, about 4 minutes; transfer to a plate using tongs. Add garlic to skillet and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach, salt, pepper, and lemon zest and cook, tossing, until spinach is wilted, 2 minutes.
Add pasta, reserved pasta water, and half the cheese to skillet. Cook, tossing, until sauce thickens and coats the pasta, about 1 minute. Top with prosciutto and remaining cheese.
