15 minute lunch

On days that I work, I am allotted 1 hour to eat lunch... and I would say that's a pretty generous amount of time. One day I wanted to eat something other than a sandwich or leftovers so I whipped this up in literally 15 minutes. It was so delish that I made it again so that I could photograph it and share with you people!

Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes in a Parmesan Cream Sauce

Start by melting about two tablespoons of butter.

By the way, cook the pasta and chop the cherry tomatoes in halves while you're making the sauce.

When the butter is melted, pour in about 1/2 c of cream... I'm totally guessing by the way. Just eyeball it!

When the cream starts to simmer a little, whisk in a few good spoonfuls of Parmesan cheese and a tiny pinch of salt.

After your sauce has simmered for a minute or two and thickened up a little, throw in a nice big handful of spinach. {It looks like a lot, but spinach shrinks big time when heated up.

Throw in your chopped cherry tomatoes and let the whole thing simmer for a few minutes.

When your pasta is cooked, toss everything together and gobble it up!

The ingredients are simple, yet decadent.  It's very flexible- add chicken, use a different shaped pasta, etc. I hope you will try this little dish for an easy lunch or weeknight meal. I promise {if you like spinach and tomatoes} that it won't disappoint!
