Ever have one of those nights where you just want something comforting but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen? Yeah, me too. I was staring at a box of pasta and a bag of spinach, feeling the weight of the day on my shoulders. I thought about making a complicated sauce but then had a lightbulb moment! Why not just throw everything in one pan?
Ingredients
8 oz pasta of your choice
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated cheese (like Parmesan or mozzarella)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: red pepper flakes for spice
How to Make It
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the pasta and enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil and cook according to package instructions.
Once the pasta is almost done, stir in the spinach and heavy cream.
Cook until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Serve
Serve it straight from the pan for a cozy dinner or plate it up with a sprinkle of extra cheese on top. Perfect with a side of garlic bread!
