I thought the artichoke florentine pasta was just okay. The flavors were good, but the pasta was a bit overcooked. I think I would have liked it better if the pasta had been cooked al dente.

This was an excellent pasta dish! The artichokes and spinach were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves pasta.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and creamy, and the artichokes and spinach were a bit too oily. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been lighter and the artichokes and spinach had been sautéed in

I'm not a huge fan of artichokes, but this dish was surprisingly good. The artichokes were tender and flavorful, and the spinach and cheese added a nice touch. The sauce was also very creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I thought the artichoke florentine pasta was just okay. The flavors were there, but it was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it better if there had been more sauce.

Not a fan. The artichokes were too tough and the spinach was wilted. The sauce was also bland. I wouldn't make this again.

I thought the artichoke florentine pasta was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the sauce was too thin. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been thicker and creamier.
