Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs (optional)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
Toss in the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
Reduce heat to low and pour in heavy cream. Stir in parmesan, red pepper flakes, and Italian herbs. Simmer until creamy.
Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat evenly. Add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust sauce consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
