Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained)

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids and seasonings: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until well combined.
  2. Simmer and thicken the sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously for 10-20 minutes. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy in texture.
  3. Add vegetables: Stir in 1 cup chopped spinach and 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes into the thickened sauce. Let it simmer gently until the spinach starts to wilt, usually just a couple of minutes.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the sauce hot over pasta, poultry, seafood, or your preferred dish for a flavorful cream sauce experience.

Notes

  • Use full-fat heavy cream for best richness and texture.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can add more flavor; drain well to avoid oily sauce.
  • Fresh spinach works best but frozen spinach can be used; thaw and drain excess water first.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt, since parmesan cheese adds saltiness.
  • This sauce is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
