Creamy Garlic Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Savor this creamy tomato pasta featuring tender spirali, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes in a rich white wine cream sauce.
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
Instructions
- 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.

- 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. Allergens: Milk, Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
