Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
I love me a delicious pasta dish. Pasta dishes are both filling and easy to change up to your liking. This recipe is definitely a new favorite. It is jam packed with delicious flavor.
Sun-Dried tomatoes are like heaven to me. Combine them with spinach and it is perfection. One of my favorite snacks to this day is a bowl of freshly made sun-dried tomatoes and sautéed spinach. Due to time, this recipe took a short cut on both of those methods, but still tastes fantastic. Added to a creamy rich Alfredo sauce, this Spinach and Sun-Dried tomato is a tasty and unique way to change up your typical pasta dishes. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family did!

I see this recipe calls for garlic salt. Is there a substitution if I cannot find garlic salt?
