Print Recipe

If you’re craving a creamy, flavorful pasta dish, this Spaghetti and Spinach with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce is a must-try!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pasta & Sauce:

  • 12 ounces spaghetti (or pasta of choice)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

For Garnishing:

  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

  • Extra Parmesan cheese

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter, mixing until melted and creamy.

Step 4: Add Spinach & Pasta

Add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts. Toss in the cooked spaghetti, mixing until fully coated in the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 5: Serve & Garnish

Remove from heat and top with fresh basil, extra Parmesan, and black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

✔️ Use High-Quality Parmesan – Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and adds richness.
✔️ Don’t Overcook the Pasta – Al dente pasta absorbs the sauce perfectly.
✔️ Balance the Sauce – If the sauce is too thick, add pasta water to reach the right consistency.
