Spinach Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta (Printable Version)
Spaghetti meets spinach and sun-dried tomatoes with a creamy garlic parmesan kick. Super simple for any night when you just want something cozy.
# What You'll Need:
→ Pasta
01 -
340 g dry spaghetti noodles
→ Sauce
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
4 garlic cloves, chopped
04 -
80 g chopped sun-dried tomatoes
05 -
60 g grated Parmesan cheese
06 -
240 ml heavy cream
07 -
2 cups (60 g) baby spinach
08 -
Salt to your liking
09 -
Ground black pepper to taste
10 -
Red chili flakes, if you want a kick
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Boil a big pot of salted water. Toss in the spaghetti and cook just until it's firm and springy as on the box. Drain all the water and leave the pasta to the side.
02 -
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and let it cook till it smells good but don’t let it get brown.
03 -
Throw in your sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Stir it up and let it cook for around 2 or 3 minutes—just enough so the spinach goes soft.
04 -
Pour in the cream and let it start to bubble softly. Turn the heat down, sprinkle in the Parmesan slowly, and keep stirring until it blends in and melts.
05 -
Drop the spaghetti right into the skillet. Stir everything so those noodles are totally covered with the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
06 -
Add salt, pepper, and toss in red chili flakes if you're feeling spicy. You can throw more Parmesan on top if you want. Serve while it's hot!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Try saving a cup of pasta water just in case you need to thin out your sauce later.
