Creamy Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Spaghetti
Ingredients:
250 g spaghetti
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
1. Cook the Spaghetti: Boil water in a large pot and cook spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Lower the heat and mix in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Incorporate Spinach and Tomatoes: Add fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
5. Combine with Spaghetti: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
6. Serve: Transfer the pasta to serving plates, garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
