This Spaghetti & Spinach with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce is a comforting, flavorful dish that combines the richness of cream with the earthy taste of spinach and the tangy depth of sun-dried tomatoes. It’s creamy, savory, and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  5. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If you like, stir in some fresh basil for added flavor.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and basil if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, swap the heavy cream with coconut cream or plant-based cream, and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
  • If you can't find chopped sun-dried tomatoes, you can use sun-dried tomato paste for a more concentrated flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the dish on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of milk or cream if the sauce thickens too much.
