Spinach Artichoke Pasta

I have been making spinach artichoke dip for as long as I can remember. It was, is, one of those things that I can whip up in a hurry for a last minute get together or to bring to a friends house, that everyone always enjoys.

It wasn’t until just recently that I decided to try and make it into a pasta dish that we could enjoy for dinner and that’s when this spinach artichoke pasta was born.

Spinach Artichoke Pasta

Now, I don’t normally make vegetarian food because my meat eating husband usually turns his nose up at it.

So when I do make vegetarian food, I just don’t tell him and let him eat it first. Then when he asks what kind of meat is in there does he get the answer, “none.”

bahahaha, sneaky sneaky.

I, on the other hand, enjoy vegetarian food every once in a while or the occasional “Meatless Mondays” as the internet calls them. Fortunately, my kids all enjoy the occasional vegetarian dish, too, so the hubby is outnumbered.

Spinach Artichoke Pasta

This spinach artichoke pasta is a super simple dish to make and comes together in about 30 minutes.

And, if you’re anything like me, then you probably already have all the ingredients on hand – which makes it even better.

Quick and flavorful dinner with frozen spinach – you can also use fresh if you prefer – some artichoke hearts, white wine, and heavy cream. You could even add a few red pepper flakes for a little heat and spice.

As that’s what the hubs did to make up for the lack of meat protein.
