Ingredients
Scale
- 17 ounces paneer pasta
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 to 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1– Sauté the Vegetables
● Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil.
● Once the oil is warm, add the chopped onion and cook until slightly brown.
● Then, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
● Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional couple of minutes, continuing to stir. - Step 2– Build the Sauce
● Slowly add the chicken stock to the pot, mixing it in to deglaze the pan and blend with the tomato paste.
● Once well combined, pour in the heavy whipping cream and mix well.
● Add the black pepper, kosher salt, and red chili flakes, stirring to fully incorporate the seasonings into the sauce. - Step 3– Cook the Pasta
● Add the penne pasta to the pot and stir to incorporate it into the sauce.
● Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
● Keep an eye on the pasta to ensure it cooks to about 75% done, checking for the desired texture. - Step 4– Add Vegetables and Complete Cooking
● Add the fresh spinach and basil to the pot, allowing the spinach to wilt down.
● If it seems like the spinach absorbs too much liquid, feel free to add a little more water or chicken stock for consistency.
● Once the spinach has wilted nicely, stir in the freshly shredded parmesan cheese until it is melted and well distributed throughout the dish. - Step 5- Finalize and Serve
● Turn off the heat and mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
● Serve the creamy tomato spinach pasta in bowls.
● Optionally, you can add grilled chicken on top for a more substantial meal.
● Enjoy your delicious, creamy pasta dish!
