Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter divided
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup cream
- 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 3/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts cut into manageable pieces
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fresh thyme minced
- 1 cup gouda shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan grated
- cooked pasta
Instructions
- Start by making a roux. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, add 2 tablespoons to flour and whisk over medium heat for about a minute.
- Whisk in the cream and stock. Add salt, pepper, paprika, and balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a large pan and melt over medium high heat. Add the finely diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened.
- Add garlic, mushrooms and thyme and cook until garlic is softened, making sure to stir so nothing burns.
- Add in spinach and stir until all is wilted then add artichokes.
- Remove from heat, add cheeses, and pour in about half of the sauce. Stir everything together to distribute the ingredients and melt the cheese. Set aside.
- Serve over cooked pasta with some shaved Parmesan and enjoy!

Notes
- If you're not a fan of mushrooms you can leave them out or replace them with a vegetable you do like.
- Make sure you cook the spinach until just wilted and no longer or it will release too much water and become soggy.
- You can also use frozen spinach but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water first.
- If your sauce is a little on the thick side then add a splash of reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Any kind of noodles will work well in this recipe but I recommend sticking with a long noodle such as linguine, spaghetti, or fettuccine.
