Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons salted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shrimp
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup white wine
5 ounces oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips
3 cups baby spinach leaves
1 ¾ cups half-and-half
⅔ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove shrimp and garlic to a plate.
  • Add onion and mushrooms to the hot skillet; cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add white wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add spinach and half-and-half; cook until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning; simmer until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.
  • If sauce is not thick enough, stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Clear a spot in the center of the skillet and add cornstarch mixture to the center of the pan. Let it simmer while stirring the mixture quickly until the sauce thickens.
  • Add shrimp back to the sauce and cook until reheated, about 1 minute. Serve sauce over pasta. Top with parsley.
