You can create this delicious Sun-Dried Tomato and Spinach Fettuccine by following these simple steps:

1. Cook the Fettuccine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

3. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, around 2-3 minutes.

5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce becomes too thick, adjust the consistency with a bit of the reserved pasta water.

7. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the sauce.

8. Season: Taste and season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes as desired.

9. Serve Immediately: Ensure the fettuccine is heated through, then remove from heat and prepare to serve.
