SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE PASTA BAKE



Spinach and Artichoke Pasta Bake image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 10-ounce bag frozen spinach
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1 pound rigatoni
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
One 4-ounce jar artichoke hearts packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Microwave the spinach according to the package instructions, then allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out the excess water with a kitchen towel and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water before draining.

Add about 3/4 cup pasta water and the cream cheese and dried basil to the saucepan and allow the cream cheese to melt, 3 to 4 minutes.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE ARTICHOKE BAKE



Chicken Florentine Artichoke Bake image

A good use of leftover chicken. The addition of farfalle pasta and veggies makes it a one-dish meal!

Provided by Debbie

Categories     Chicken Casserole

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 ½ heads broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk, or more to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes; pasta will be slightly undercooked.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli. Run under cold water and drain again. Add to the onion mixture along with spinach, cooked chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and Italian cheese.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Slowly whisk in flour; cook and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Add enough milk to thin the sauce enough so it will coat all ingredients in the bowl; it will thicken more in the oven.
  • Pour sauce into the bowl and mix until well combined. Transfer contents to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

CREAMY ARTICHOKE BAKED PASTA



Creamy Artichoke Baked Pasta image

A creamy, rich, and cheesy vegetarian white baked pasta with loads of flavor-rich artichoke hearts tossed in. Just add leftover turkey or cooked chicken for the carnivores!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces tube shaped pasta (I used cavatappi, cooked)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup half and half
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 1/2 cups + 1/2 cup Italian blend shredded cheese (divided (10 ounces total)*)
1 14-ounce can marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Set a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Once the oil, is hot, add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add in the milk, half and half, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper.
  • Simmer over medium heat until warmed through, but don't let the mixture boil as you don't want to scorch the milk.
  • Once the milk is hot, add in 2-1/2 cups shredded cheese and stir to combine. You want the cheese to fully melt in a creamy sauce.
  • Add in the cooked pasta and chopped artichokes and stir to fully combine. Taste the mixture and season with a desired amount of kosher salt and pepper.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pasta mixture to an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish. Otherwise, you can bake the pasta right in the skillet.
  • Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and add to the oven. Bake until the top of the pasta is browned and bubbly, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
  • Note: You can also opt to first cook the pasta in the pan with water, drain and set aside. Then make the recipe as written. This helps cut down on dishes.

Tips for the Best Artichoke Chicken Pasta Bake:

  • Use fresh artichoke hearts. Fresh artichokes have a much better flavor and texture than canned or frozen ones.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and tender.
  • Use a good quality pasta. The pasta is the backbone of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a good texture.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind all of the ingredients together and create a rich and flavorful dish. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own using heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Top the dish with cheese. A layer of cheese on top of the pasta will help to brown and crisp it up, and it will also add a delicious flavor. Use a good melting cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
  • Bake the dish until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven.

Conclusion:

Artichoke chicken pasta bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make the best artichoke chicken pasta bake that your family and friends will love. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
