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
 

  1. Cook the spirali pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil from the sun-dried tomato jar and heat until shimmering.
  3. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced sun-dried tomatoes in the skillet until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer and reduce for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
