Dinner

Creamy Tuscan Pasta

This pasta comes together quickly with garlic, cream, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach for a dinner that feels cozy and polished.

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a skillet and cook the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the parmesan until smooth.
  4. Add the spinach and chili flakes, then toss until the spinach wilts.
  5. Add the drained pasta and enough reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce until glossy and well-coated.
  6. Season to taste and serve hot.

Kitchen note

Pasta water is the key to a restaurant-style finish. It helps the sauce cling to the noodles instead of sitting heavily on top.
