SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE PENNE PASTA



Spinach and Artichoke Penne Pasta image

This is one of my new favorite recipes, and by far my favorite concoction that I've ever whipped up myself! It turned out amazing,and the whole house smelled amazing (if you like the smell of garlic, that is!). I was reading a Spinach Pasta recipe that I was going to make, but didn't have 75% of the ingredients, so I created this one instead! And I'm so happy I did!

SPINACH ARTICHOKE WHOLE-WHEAT PENNE



Spinach Artichoke Whole-Wheat Penne image

This is a dish that can stand alone as an entree or be served up as a side. The flavors will remind you of decadent spinach artichoke dip - made with mounds of mayonnaise and tons of cheese. This dish however is a figure-friendly fake-out full of vitamins, fiber and protein. Even the spinach pesto is made with half the amount of extra-virgin olive oil I usually use, due to the addition of vegetable stock.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound whole-wheat penne pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 (15-ounce) can or 1 (10-ounce) box frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted, drained and quartered
1 small bundle farm fresh spinach, stems trimmed
1 shallot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock, just eyeball the amount
A handful fresh mint leaves
A handful lightly toasted slivered almonds
Kosher salt or freshly ground sea salt and black pepper
1 large clove garlic - peeled
A handful grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up it up to a boil to cook the pasta, season with some salt and cook to al dente, according to package directions. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in medium nonstick skillet. Add artichokes to heat through and lightly brown at edges.
  • To clean spinach, fill sink with water, swish spinach around and let grit fall to bottom of sink. Dry leaves before using.
  • In the bowl of a food processor add the shallot, 1/2 cup chicken stock, spinach leaves, mint, almonds and salt and pepper, to taste. If you have a hand held small-holed grater or a zester, grate garlic into the food processor. Adding a whole clove can result in stray big pieces of raw garlic, too bitter to bite down on. If you do not have a hand held grater, mince garlic and mash up into paste with a little salt. Turn processor on and add in about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Scrape the spinach pesto into the artichoke pan and loosely cover with foil. Bring mixture to a simmer over low to medium-low heat and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the reserved pasta cooking water, the pasta and the cheese. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce and heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

4-CHEESE SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



4-Cheese Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

This is my first submitted recipe. I have tried many other spinach dip recipes from this website, but felt like something was missing or they were too "Alfredo-ey." So I modified the recipes I found to eliminate the Alfredo sauce and substituted in the cheeses I had on hand. Voila! A delicious recipe that I felt proud to share with my fellow cooks. Serve with chips or veggies. I hope you enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
2 ounces horseradish Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, and any marinade oil that remains after chopping them. Add onion, garlic, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn on the bottom, until spinach has wilted and mixture is wet, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, processed cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Stir occasionally and allow to simmer, uncovered, until cheeses have melted and some of the water from the spinach has cooked off, about 3 more minutes. This allows the herbs and spices to infuse their flavor into the dip. Serve hot.
