Ingredients You’ll Need
● 400g spaghetti (the ultimate pasta twirler)
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● 3 cloves garlic, minced (for that aromatic kick)
● 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced (tangy little flavour bombs)
● 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
● 1 cup heavy cream (because creamy is the name of the game)
● 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that umami goodness)
● 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for a flavour boost)
● Salt and pepper, to taste
● Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish and a pop of colour)
How to Make It
1. Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente.
Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining. (Hot tip: That starchy water is liquid gold for adjusting your sauce.)
2. Sauté the Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and let them sizzle for another minute to release their flavours.
3. Add the Spinach
Toss in the spinach and cook until just wilted. It shrinks faster than your weekend plans, so don’t worry if it looks like a lot at first.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth (if using), stirring gently. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Bring It All Together
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan. Toss everything together until the pasta is beautifully coated.
Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into creamy perfection. If the sauce feels too thick, a splash of reserved pasta water will do the trick.
6. Garnish and Serve
Plate your masterpiece, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and maybe an extra sprinkle of Parmesan because, why not?
