Spicy Tomato Pasta by Flavorsnlife

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 8 oz (225g) linguine pasta, cooked

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are translucent and softened.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and tomato paste. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherry tomatoes burst and release their juices.
4. Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and add the baby spinach. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the spinach begins to wilt.
5. Add the cooked linguine pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the spicy tomato sauce and the spinach is fully wilted. Serve immediately.
