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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing their flavors to meld with the garlic-infused oil.
  4. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. If the skillet seems dry, add a splash of olive oil or pasta water.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh. You can also add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or pasta water if needed.
