Creamy Sundried Tomato And Spinach Pasta

This Creamy Sundried Tomato And Spinach Pasta is a deliciously light yet satisfying meal, perfect for weeknights when you want something quick and fresh.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 8 oz whole-wheat spaghetti or preferred pasta
  • ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped (reserve some oil)
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes crushed
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Place spinach in a colander in the sink and drain the pasta over it to wilt the spinach. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium heat. Add the red onion and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for about 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the broth and bring to a simmer, cooking until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Then add the sour cream, Parmesan, and butter, stirring until smooth. Add the pasta and wilted spinach to the skillet, tossing to coat.
  • Serve immediately, top with additional Parmesan if desired.
