Method
 

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, which should take about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Step 6: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it evenly with the sun-dried tomato cream sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  7. Step 7: Plate your spaghetti and top each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

This dish keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of water or cream to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
