Cooking Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spinach pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the large shrimp in a single layer. Sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and toss in minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in fresh spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet along with grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and combines with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked spinach pasta to the skillet. Toss together, adding reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes
Perfectly cooked shrimp: do not overcook, aim for 2-3 minutes per side. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta or spiralized zucchini.
