  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Begin by cooking the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Step 5: Add the chopped spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted. Then mix in the cooked spaghetti, tossing everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Step 6: Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When reheating, gently warm the spaghetti in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk or reserved pasta water to revive the creamy sauce without drying it out.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, serve your dish with a sprinkle of additional grated Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • To enhance the richness of the sauce, consider sautéing some chopped mushrooms along with the garlic before adding the sun-dried tomatoes for added texture and umami.
