Cooking Steps
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and cook for 2 minutes to release their flavor into the oil and garlic.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a creamy sauce.
- Toss the cooked spaghetti into the pan with the cream sauce mixture, ensuring the pasta is thoroughly coated.
- Plate the spaghetti immediately while warm and creamy for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for a richer flavor, or rehydrate dry ones before use. Adjust the amount of heavy cream to your desired sauce thickness. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative. Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor if desired. Can be garnished with fresh basil or parsley for an herbal note.
