Step-by-Step Instructions for Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté 2 minced garlic cloves for about 30 seconds.

Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Combine well for 1 minute.
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and fold in 1 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, simmering for about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of fresh spinach until wilted. Mix in ½ cup of grated Parmesan until melted.
Combine the drained pasta with the sauce, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed.
Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and seasoning to taste.
