Equipment

  • pot

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Boil the spaghetti until al dente; reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
  • Sauté garlic in olive oil, then add spinach and cook until wilted.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. Gluten-free spaghetti works well for dietary adjustments.
