Easy To Make Vegetarian Creamy Artichoke Penne Recipe

CREAMY SPINACH ARTICHOKE PENNE RECIPE

I’ve got a super easy recipe for you today!

I am a huge carnivore, I’m pretty sure I came out of my mother’s womb asking for a medium well prime rib! When I find alternate meatless meals, I get really excited!

I originally saw this recipe on the Tasty Facebook Page. That page is incredible and has a crazy following (62 MILLION Likes!) and for good reason–the recipes and the videos that accompany them makes it all seem so easy and so well…tasty! I’ve tried a few of these recipes and they did not disappoint! This time I actually took step by step pics so that I could share it with you guys!

I bought the artichoke hearts from the freezer section and I used the best cream cheese in the world: Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

I made a couple of tweaks because the original flavor was a tad bland, but that might just be my taste buds. My changes are bolded:

I honestly thought it tasted better the next day after after the pasta had some time to “love on itself”. This is a perfect meal for Meatless Monday, or just a simple pasta night! It takes less than 30 minutes to make so it’s an easy after work meal to prepare!

What is your favorite pasta recipe? What recipe do you make that is better the next day?
