Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Spinach Pasta
Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine or linguine
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions
Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
Sauté the garlic and tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Add spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Make the creamy sauce: Lower the heat and add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine with pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Use the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
Serve: Plate the pasta, sprinkle with extra Parmesan, and enjoy a comforting, creamy meal!
