Ingredients
  

For the Pasta

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or your preferred type
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves

For the Sauce

  • ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped (reserve some oil)
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped

Preparation Steps

  • Place the fresh spinach leaves in a large colander set in the sink.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Once cooked, drain the pasta over the spinach in the colander to wilt the spinach. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sun-dried tomatoes; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; cook for another minute.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broth to the skillet. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter until well combined and creamy.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti and wilted spinach to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
