work bowl with a spatula to make sure garlic is getting finely minced.

In a large saute pan, melt butter. Add olive oil mixture and bay leaves.
Saute breifly over medium heat. Do not burn garlic. Add shrimp to the

cook the pasta. When pasta is cooked and well-drained, return saute pan to
low heat, add pasta, and toss with the shrimp sauce to coat. fold in
spinach and tomatoes. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan.
