Instructions

1. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Toss in the spinach and cook until just wilted.

7. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
