Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

8 ounces DeLallo spirali pasta
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup DeLallo sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, sliced or chopped
about 1/3 cup dry white wine
2/3-3 /4 cup heavy cream
1 cup spinach, chopped
up to 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
salt and pepper to taste
a big bunch of chopped chives or parsley
parmesan for serving

Method

Cook the spirali pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil from the sun-dried tomato jar and heat until shimmering.
Sauté the minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes in the skillet until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer and reduce for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce, adding reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Finish with a generous amount of chopped fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

– Use good quality sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for the best flavor.
– Don’t skip reserving the pasta water; it’s key to achieving a silky sauce.
– Adjust the amount of garlic and red pepper flakes to your preference.
– Garnish generously with fresh herbs and Parmesan for maximum impact.
