Ingredients
  

12 oz spaghetti

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.

    Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add the Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting it cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Incorporate Spinach and Cheese: Add the chopped spinach and grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Stir until the spinach has wilted and the cheese has melted. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

            Combine with Spaghetti: Gently toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce, ensuring it is well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

              Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious spaghetti!
