Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. Wilt the Spinach:
   • Place the chopped spinach in a large colander.
   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
   • Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions.
   • Drain the pasta over the spinach in the colander and toss to wilt the spinach.
2. Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce:
   • While the pasta is cooking, heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onion and sun-dried tomatoes.
   • Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
   • Stir in the garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another minute.
3. Add the Broth and Finish the Sauce:
   • Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the broth.
   • Let it cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced by half.
   • Add the sour cream, Parmesan, and butter, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth.
4. Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
   • Add the cooked spaghetti and wilted spinach to the skillet.
   • Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve this rich and satisfying pasta dish with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired.

Tips:

• For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and opt for nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
• Use whole wheat spaghetti for a fiber-rich, heart-healthy option, or substitute half whole wheat and half regular pasta if preferred.
• To make this dish even quicker, you can prepare the spinach by placing it in the colander and draining the pasta over it, which wilts the spinach without extra cooking time.
