Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Remove the garlic and discard.
Add the spinach and 2 teaspoons pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the pasta.
Add the Pecorino Romano cheese and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper, and toss until coated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved cooking liquid and the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
Pour over the pasta and toss until coated. Season with salt.
