pasta with spinach and garbanzo beans

My sister Emily, shared this with me a few weeks ago and I loved it. My family ate it, but didn't appreciate all of its goodness like I did. I love the cooked spinach, it's flavor is so rich. And the red pepper flakes added a nice punch. I did add some hamburger to this for the sake of Dillon, he likes meat in his dinners. But it's obviously not necessary. Enjoy!
