Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
1 1⁄2 cups milk, whole
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1⁄4 teaspoon basil, dried
8 ounces linguine
8 ounces spinach, baby
15 ounces artichoke hearts (canned)
1⁄4 cup cheese, parmesan (grated)

Instructions

Mince garlic and heat with the butter in a deep skillet or pot; sauté until fragrant and light golden brown. Add chicken broth, milk, salt, pepper, basil, and pasta (break in half to stir more easily).


Cover and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until al dente, approximately 12 minutes. Drain and roughly chop artichoke hearts. Turn off the heat under the pasta and stir in the spinach in large handfuls, letting the heat of the sauce wilt it, then stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and 2 Tbsp Parmesan.


Serve topped with more Parmesan.
