A comforting and creamy pasta dish made with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb Linguine (cooked al dente, reserve 1/4 cup pasta water)
  • 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (diced small)
  • 1/4 cup Pasta water (reserved)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh basil (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups Baby spinach (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook it al dente according to the package instructions, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it turns golden and aromatic.
  3. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Toss in the diced sun-dried tomatoes. Let them cook for another two minutes, allowing their flavors to meld with the garlic.
  4. Stir in the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to envelop the tomatoes and garlic.
  5. Mix in the Cheese: Add half of the freshly grated Parmesan, the reserved pasta water, and a dash of Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese melts.
  6. Incorporate the Spinach: Fold in the chopped baby spinach, stirring until it wilts slightly.
  7. Combine with Pasta: Add the al dente linguine back to your skillet. Toss everything together gently.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Plate the pasta and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and chopped fresh basil.

Notes

This dish pairs well with a green salad and crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
