INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta & Base

    • 🍝 8 ounces spaghetti or other pasta
  • Oils & Fats

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Vegetables

    • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
    • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Condiments

    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic
  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 🧀 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9 to 10 minutes, or to your preferred doneness. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.

2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Stir in heavy cream, and bring to a low simmer. Add Parmesan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

4

Add cooked spaghetti to skillet, toss until well coated. If too thick, add a small amount of reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency. Stir in spinach, cook until just starting to wilt, and season with salt and pepper.

5

Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and basil, and serve immediately.
