I was never a big fan of sun dried tomatoes but this pasta changed my mind š Itās so full of flavor but itās SO simple to make.
.
Hereās what you need:
12oz whole wheat penne pasta
1 cup reserved pasta water
1 tablespoon olive oil
4oz (about 1/2 cup) sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4oz cream cheese
2oz (about 1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
.
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve one cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat and add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. SautƩ for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cream cheese and ¾ cup of pasta water and stir over low heat until the cream cheese is melted.
Add the Parmesan cheese and spinach and whisk until the cheese is mostly melted.
Toss the pasta in the sauce until the pasta is evenly coated. Add additional pasta water if the pasta is too dry...
