- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Spaghetti or Linguine
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Chicken or Vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Fresh baby spinach
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, but be careful not to let it brown or burn, as this will make the sauce taste bitter.
- Add the broth and the dry pasta directly into the skillet. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking. Cook until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, which usually takes about 8 to 9 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes over low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta beautifully. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth or water.
- Add the fresh baby spinach and stir until it wilts into the warm pasta. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
