Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Make it Creamy
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
Add Lemon and Spinach
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Season and Serve
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately.
