Preparación

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and broth; bring to a simmer.

3. 3

   Mix in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add chopped spinach and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté until spinach wilts.

4. 4

   Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well to incorporate.

5. 5

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
