This three ingredient Quick and Easy Chicken Artichoke Spinach Pasta transforms one of your favorite appetizers into a showstopping main course. Artichokes and spinach are blended with the distinct flavor of Romano cheese and then stirred into al dente pasta and chicken to create a delicious and effortless pasta dish.
I could say it’s just a Winter thing, but there’s nothing quite like a comforting bowl of pasta. Especially cheesy pasta. No matter what the weather, I’m always ready for pasta. Luckily, our family tends to be as well and once a week we’re enjoying some type of noodle-y dish.
Two years ago after our son was born, a friend who also happened to be a resident’s wife brought dinner over so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it. I state again for the record, there is nothing better than fixing a meal for a family that has a lot going on, whether it be a new baby or someone not feeling well. It’s one of my favorite things to do. My friend brought us a chicken recipe that was covered in spinach artichoke dip. And yes, it was as decadently delicious as it sounds!
Last week, I decided to surprise the menagerie with pasta for lunch and thoughts of my friend’s chicken recipe popped into my head when I spied this Artichoke Spinach Dip in my pantry. With just three ingredients and 20 minutes, I had the most amazing pasta dish plated and in front of four hungry mouths – mine included! Artichokes and spinach are blended with the distinct flavor of Romano cheese and then stirred into al dente pasta and perfectly browned pasta to create a delicious and effortless pasta dish.
