Recipes don’t get any simpler than this spinach and artichoke pasta! Loaded with cheese, it’s simple, tasty, and budget-friendly. Here’s what you’ll need: 

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Pasta – We use corkscrew pasta, but anything you have on hand will work. 
• Milk – this helps combine the rest of the ingredients. For the best flavor, we highly recommend using whole milk! 
• Cheese – There’s no shortage of cheese in this dish! We use cream cheese, Mozzarella, and Parmesan. 
• Vegetables – Canned artichoke hearts and spinach are stirred into the mix for added color and nutrients. 
• Garlic – Use fresh cloves, and mince them finely for a bold, savory flavor. 
• Seasonings – Italian herbs, salt, and pepper help enhance the rest of the ingredients for a savory pasta bake. 

Can I Use Any Type of Pasta? 

Yes! We recommend using a corkscrew or similar shape so the noodles hold the sauce. However, whatever you have on hand is totally fine. Penne, rigatoni, spaghetti…anything goes! 

How to Make Spinach and Artichoke Pasta

Great for an easy weeknight meal, this pasta dish requires virtually no prep work and bakes in one dish for easy cleanup! 

1. Combine the Ingredients. Place the cream cheese in the center of an oval baking dish. Then, arrange the noodles around the cream cheese. Pour the milk, artichokes, garlic, salt, and pepper on top, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the cheese on top. 
2. Bake. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and the pasta is al dente. 
3. Garnish. Stir in the spinach, adding an extra splash of milk if needed to thin out the ingredients. Top with extra Parmesan, and dig in while it’s warm!
