Ingredients
- 10 oz linguine or other long pasta of choice, or fettuccine
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ onion finely chopped (~1/2 cup)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk I use low-fat
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 3 baby spinach large handfuls, leaves
- 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and halved or quartered, jarred
- salt
- black pepper
To Serve
- parsley finely chopped
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until just before al dente (i.e. packet cook time minus 1 minute).
- RESERVE a mug of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion, saute for 3 minutes or until onion is softened.
- Add cream and milk. Bring to a simmer, then simmer for 3 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese until it melts. Add artichokes and pasta plus 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water. Toss pasta gently for 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens and coats the pasta - there should be little left pooled at the bottom of the skillet.
- Quickly stir spinach through - it will wilt quickly.
- Serve immediately!
