One Pot Spinach and Artichoke Pasta (No-boil pasta recipe) by Food Dolls

So yummy and easy!

I added:
Organic grape tomatoes sliced in half
Organic green peas

My changes:
Vegan cream cheese instead of mascarpone
Mozzarella instead of Monterey Jack and smaller amount
A lot less of parmesan due to dairy sensitivity
A lot less salt if not rinsing the artichoke

INGREDIENTS

UNITS SCALE
  • 16 oz uncooked spirali pasta (or similar shape)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, rinsed, chopped and squeezed dry

  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
