Ingredients:
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the Spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Make the Cream Sauce: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the heavy cream, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts and softens, about 2 minutes.
4. Combine: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
5. Serve: Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the creamy, savory goodness in every bite!
This dish is comfort food with a twist – creamy, dreamy, and full of bold flavors that will make your taste buds dance!
