Creamy Tuscan Garlic Pasta
Silky garlic cream, sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach clinging to every strand — a restaurant-style pasta from one pot and one pan.
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh basil, torn
Steps
- Cook the fettuccine in salted water until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet and soften the garlic for 1 minute.
- Pour in the cream, add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
- Stir in the parmesan until melted, then add the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Toss in the pasta with a splash of pasta water until glossy and coated.
- Fold in the spinach until just wilted, top with basil and serve at once.
Serve with: garlic bread and a simple green salad.
Save a cup of pasta water before draining; a splash loosens the sauce without thinning the flavor.
