This creamy linguine dish combines tender spinach and tangy sun-dried tomatoes in a rich Parmesan and half-and-half sauce. Quick and flavorful, it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

 

Ingredients

– 8 oz linguine

– 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 cup half-and-half

– 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

– 1/4 teaspoon paprika

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 6 oz spinach

– 5 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Cook linguine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

 

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

 

3. Add half-and-half, paprika, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

 

4. Stir in ½ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts. If the sauce is too thin, gradually add more cheese until desired consistency is reached.

 

5. Add spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.

 

6. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

 

7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Top with finely chopped fresh basil before serving.

 

Notes

– For a richer flavor, consider using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.

– If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of pasta water to reach desired consistency.

– This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein.
