  3. Sauté minced garlic in the skillet for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add heavy cream to the skillet and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return shrimp and the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed.
  7. Mix in grated Parmesan until melted, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Serve garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
