Spinach Artichoke Pasta

One of my favorite one dish meals is Spinach Artichoke Pasta it's so quick and easy to make. It's like our beloved Spinach Artichoke Dip covered in pasta and takes only 25 minutes to make. You could always add cubed chicken breast once the onions are caramelized for Chicken Spinach Artichoke Pasta. So easy, so good! A must make easy dinner recipe I think you'll love.

Two of my favorite things in the whole wide world are Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip and One Skillet Meals only because I totally hate doing dishes.

One Skillet Spinach Artichoke Pasta combines both of those with a gluten free option using brown rice noodles instead of regular pasta ( I promise no one will know it's GF). It's incredible with regular pasta or gluten free!

It's cheesyliciousness at it's best and filled with lots of spinach and artichoke hearts leaving my taste buds singing for more!

Colt nabbed the leftovers for lunch and said he almost thought it was even better the next day because the flavors had melded.

This is comfort food at its prime and done in under 30 minutes.

It's like a little taste of heaven in every bite!

In a large skillet with a lid melt 2 tablespoons Butter or Olive Oil over medium-high heat.

Add:

• 4 cloves Minced Garlic
• 1-2 Jalapeños Seeded and Diced.

Cook until garlic is softened and fragrant being careful not to burn.

Stir in:

• 16 ounces Penne Pasta (For Gluten Free use Brown Rice Penne Pasta Noodles)
• 4 cups Chicken Stock
• 2/3 cup Half & Half or Milk
• 4 Ounces Cubed Cream Cheese
• 14 ounces Drained Chopped Artichoke Hearts
• a generous pinch Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

Stir until combined. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 12 minutes.

Remove lid and stir in 6 ounces Fresh Spinach. Recover and cook for 1-2 minutes until spinach is just barely wilted.

Add:

• 2 cups Shredded Jack Cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Stir until cheese is melted.

I told you Spinach Artichoke Pasta was such an easy skillet meal recipe!

Creamy, cheesy and full of spinach and artichoke hearts just sayin I'm not sure it gets much better then this!

Just make sure if you're planning on eating any leftovers for lunch to hid them better than me.
