Ingredients:
12 oz spaghetti (or your favorite pasta)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the Spaghetti:
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions, until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
Make the Cream Sauce:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add Spinach:
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Combine with Pasta:
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Serve:
Divide the pasta among serving plates, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and top with additional Parmesan if desired.
