Description

This Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta is the ultimate comfort food, blending rich, velvety sauce with tender pasta and savory vegetables. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is easy to make yet full of gourmet flavor.

Ingredients
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can 14 oz (artichoke hearts, drained and chopped)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring to combine.

  3. Add Cheese and Veggies

    Stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Add the chopped artichokes and spinach. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

  5. Serve

    Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.
