Zesty Sun-Dried Tomato Alfredo Sauce for Pasta and More


  • Author: Tessa Hollman

Ingredients

Scale

1 8-ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil

¼ cup butter

6 cloves garlic

1.5 cups heavy cream

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 cups parmesan cheese, freshly shredded or grated

2 handfuls fresh spinach

Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Strain the sun-dried tomatoes, allowing the oil to drip down into a bowl. Set the tomatoes aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt your butter. Add ¼ cup of the sun-dried tomato oil and garlic. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes and cook over low heat for about five minutes. 
  4. Stir in cheese and spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Once the cheese is melted, remove the sauce from the heat. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.

Notes

You may prefer your sun-dried tomatoes to be in small pieces rather than whole. Feel free to chop them with a knife before adding them to your sauce.
