Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Creamy Tuscan Garlic Sauce. Chop the spinach, measure out the sun-dried tomatoes, and grate the Parmesan cheese.
  2. In a large saucepan, add about 1 cup of chicken broth and place it over medium heat. Allow the broth to warm for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once heated, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
  4. Fold in the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring gently for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. Lower the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. If thinner than desired, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and serve the sauce over pasta, chicken, or vegetables. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.
