Spaghetti & Spinach with Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

To achieve flavor quickly in this sun-dried tomato pasta recipe, we use the oil from sun-dried tomatoes to create the base of the cream sauce. Meanwhile, the residual heat of the pasta wilts the spinach in record time for a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar
  • ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup halved and thinly sliced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
