Ziti with Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes and Gorgonzola Sauce

This recipe is for 2, I quadrupled it for a family of 8 and it worked fine)

4 oz. uncooked ziti
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. crushed red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
6 T. half and half
3 T. Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 c. fresh spinach
 
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes, salt, crushed red pepper, and minced garlic to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in half and half and Gorgonzola cheese; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Stir in spinach and pasta, cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts, tossing occasionally.
 
If it starts to look dry, add more half and half.
Serve with BBQ chicken.
