Ingredients
Scale
Sauce Base
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Vegetables
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce base: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk the mixture continuously over medium heat for 10-20 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Add greens and tomatoes: Stir in the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Allow the sauce to simmer gently until the spinach wilts, which should take a few minutes, enhancing the sauce’s flavor and texture.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the creamy Tuscan garlic sauce hot over your choice of pasta, poultry, or seafood for a delicious and comforting meal.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by simmering longer for a thicker consistency or adding a little more broth for a thinner sauce.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for a more robust flavor; sauté it lightly before adding liquids.
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can be used for added richness; drain well before adding.
- This sauce pairs well with grilled chicken, shrimp, or fettuccine pasta.
