Fresh spinach is folded in at the end, wilting gently into the sauce while adding color and freshness. It lightens the dish just enough, making the creamy sauce feel balanced rather than heavy. Parmesan ties everything together with a salty, nutty finish.
This pasta is simple yet satisfying, perfect on its own or served alongside grilled chicken, shrimp, or crusty bread. It’s proof that a handful of quality ingredients can create something deeply comforting and crave-worthy.
