🥘 Ingredients

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Linguine pasta: I like the flat noodle for this creamy pasta dish but other shapes can be used.

Pine nuts: these are toasted before use, see tips for how to toast pine nuts.

Fresh Spinach: I like to use fresh baby spinach or regular chopped spinach (to make the leaves smaller).

Canned artichoke hearts: I buy plain artichoke hearts, but you can use the marinated ones also. Just be sure to drain them well.

Fresh garlic cloves 

Milk: any dairy milk or nut milk will work for this recipe. If using nut milk, I recommend cashew milk.

Vegetable broth, I love using this golden broth packet. It has great flavor, plus it has been around a long time and stood the test of time! Another favorite is to make a broth with this vegetable concentrate paste.

Red pepper flakes: optional for added heat and flavor.

Salt and black pepper: (optional)

🔪 How to make Spinach Artichoke Pasta

1. In a large skillet, heat the butter until bubbly. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Stir in the broth, milk, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
3. Add the linguine to the broth mixture and simmer for 9 minutes or until al dente.
4. Remove the pasta from the heat and stir in spinach and artichoke hearts and toss to combine.
5. Allow the pasta to heat the spinach for about 2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
6. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chili flakes before serving and season with salt and black pepper (if using).

🍽 Equipment

A deep skillet or large pot
Flat head wooden spoon
Pasta bowls: not necessary, but fun to use!
Tongs: for serving the pasta

🥫Storage

Refrigerate: ​store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days.

Reheat: warm leftover pasta in a saucepan with a little added water over medium low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

📖 Variations

• Substitute your favorite pasta shape for the linguini. Regular spaghetti, penne, and bowtie pasta are good ones to choose.
• Make this a vegan pasta recipe by substituting a nut milk or soy milk for regular milk. Make sure the pasta you purchase is vegan pasta (egg free noodle).
• Stir in ½ cup of nutritional yeast flakes or 1 cup of mozzarella cheese to add a cheesy flavor to the dish.
• Add sliced grilled chicken breast or a can of drained and rinsed white beans to the pasta for added protein.

💭 Top Tips

• Break the pasta noodles in half before adding to the broth mixture. This will make shorter strands that are easier to manage and it makes it easier for little ones to eat.
• Stir the pasta as soon as it has been added to the broth mixture and stir it often to allow it to cook evenly and keep it from sticking together.
• To toast pine nuts, spread out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until pine nuts start to turn golden brown. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
