Penne with Spinach Sauce

from Leia

1 lb whole wheat penne
3 garlic cloves
2 oz goat cheese (I buy it at Costco and freeze in 2 oz portions)
1 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
3/4 t salt
1/2 t pepper
6 oz spinach leaves (I'm very generous with this)
2 T grated Parmesan

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook till tender but still firm.
Mince garlic in food processor. Add goat cheese, cream cheese, salt and pepper, and 1/2 of spinach. (I usually do ALL the spinach). Blend till creamy. Set aside.
Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid. Spoon pasta atop spinach in a bowl. Scrape sauce over pasta, toss to coat. Add enough liquid to moisten. Season with salt and pepper and top with Parmesan.
