How to Make Creamy Spinach Bacon And Sun Dried Tomato Sauce For Pasta

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 4 ounces of diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 10 ounces fresh spinach (packed), and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and the crispy bacon. Stir to combine.
  6. Serve the sauce over your favorite cooked pasta. Garnish with 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
