1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and stir constantly. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until thickened.

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
