15 mins prepServes 4
Made with Pasta Rummo Protein Maxima Penne, this creamy Tuscan pasta is filled with protein & veggies, tossed in a rich parmesan sauce, and comes together in just 30 minutes, making it the perfect dinner for a busy weeknight.
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Pasta Rummo Protein Maxima Penne according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
2. To a medium heat skillet, add the butter, then add the diced onions and toss and cook for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Mix in tomato paste and sundried tomatoes, toss and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Add the cooked penne to the skillet along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Add in spinach and mix until wilted. Toss the pasta until every piece of pasta is coated in the sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving & enjoy!
