spinach artichoke pasta

this right here. this right here. i can't even begin to tell you about this right here. so freaking tasty. probably so not good for me. but so good. it's difficult to reheat though. i recommend adding it to a pot with 1/2 cup of milk and reheating slowly.

spinach artichoke pasta
  • 1 12-oz box pasta
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 8 oz package reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts (packed in water), drained and chopped
  • 10 oz chopped, frozen spinach, thawed, with as much excess water squeezed out as possible
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • Additional Parmesan for serving
cook pasta while melting butter and cooking garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. add cream cheese and stir until melted. slowly stir in milk, then add sour cream, lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes. stir in artichoke hearts, spinach, and parmesan cheese.

drain pasta and add to artichoke mix. toss and season to taste with salt and additional lemon juice as needed. serve with additional shredded parmesan.
