SPINACH SUN DRIED TOMATO PASTA
INGREDIENTS

1 pound angel hair pasta (or whatever you like)
1 (10 ounce) jar oil-packed sun dried tomatoes - drained, sliced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup dry white wine
6 cloves garlic - sliced
8 ounces baby spinach
1/4 cup packed basil leaves - chopped
1/4 cup parsley - minced
2 cups pasta water - reserved, will most likely not need all of it.
salt - to taste
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - optional
Parmesan cheese - for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water (2 tablespoons kosher salt) to boil. Heat a large pan to medium-low heat. Wait 2 minutes then add the olive oil and garlic. Sautee garlic until golden (about 2-3 minutes), then add in the chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
2. Add the sundried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Next, add the white wine and turn heat to medium-high. Cook wine until it reduces by half )about 3 minutes) then turn heat back to medium-low. Cook the pasta. Angel hair only takes a couple of minutes, so watch carefully and cook to al dente.
4. Add a ladle of pasta water and the pasta to the pan. Toss to coat and emulsify the sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, then turn the heat off. Add more pasta water if needed so that the pasta does not dry out.
5. Next, add the spinach and basil to the pan and toss once more. Taste test and adjust salt to taste.
6. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and parmesan cheese on the side. If the pasta gets at all dry while waiting to eat, add a couple ounces of pasta water to loosen things up. Enjoy!

Keep your parsley stems !!!! Do a fine chop- bag and freeze for use in soups, stews, sauces ! Works perfectly believe me. Waves from Anchorage Alaska ❄️☃️

“Some things you throw out; it’s just how it is.” Jim, let’s not talk about my dating life here, please 😆❤️ On the real though, thanks for another awesome video.

[carriemcginnis]

You're right! You should sell that pan. Maybe as a sponsor? You'd be an amazing advocate for them, particularly given how well you consistently explain how to use them.

There is a lot of flavor in the oil from the sun dried tomato's, I use quite a bit in mine and the sun dried tomato taste is elevated to delicious.

This looks so good—you really can’t beat simple! I think that’s the reason why I love olive oil, and a touch of butter or ghee, and garlic with spaghetti, and some Parmesan. I hope you have a link to that pan. We’re really needing something bigger than 12”.

Followed your way of cooking angel hair pasta and it was perfect! Not a gloppy mess! Thank you :)

[johnboccaccio]

The Calabrian chili paste has become my new favorite ingredient. I will probably use it here as well. Thanks, this is good stuff.

[billwunder]

I subscribed about two weeks ago. I've watched many of your videos. I love the simplicity of the recipes and your focus on the Italian style of cooking. It's OK to make mistakes. It's also OK to use American cheeses and pasta. Makes me feel like I'm actually there with you. Great job!

Negative: Please take into consideration there are those of us that struggle with eye sight. Prefer you tell us rather than write on screen. So fast can’t read it. Or do

Positive: Absolutely love your channel. Found it about a month ago n binging on it since. Simple, easy n not so many ingredients that I’m at grocery every day. Have made several of your recipes. You are n do things so different from most other cooks which makes you special. So enjoy that young man of your too. He’s a natural! Your wife’s a lucky gal.

Excellent summertime or anytime dish! Lots of fresh flavors, so you can’t go wrong. Just like you said, be mindful of not overcooking your Angel Hair. Mangia!

Love that you are using Matua wine. I live in Tauranga. Not far from a suburb called Matua! No where near where the wine is from but hey.

[jeffharper]

Thank you for being human and posting the evidence. Happy New Year from Ontario, Canada.

Had to change quite a lot because of the ingredients I had and didn't have. Was short on sun dried tomatoes, added a bunch of button mushrooms (could use more it turned out). Used rose brut sparkling wine instead of white wine. No basil or parsley unfortunately. But it still turned out great. Thanks for the recipe and thorough instructions!
