Instructions

  • Heat 1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's hot add 3/4 pound Ground Turkey and cook for a few minutes until it's almost cooked through. Add 2 Cloves Garlic (chopped) and 1/4 Cup Onion (chopped).
  • Reduce to medium heat, and add 8 ounces Dry Pasta and 2 Cups Water to the skillet; cover the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until it is cooked al dente.
  • Reduce the heat to low heat, and stir in 1/2 Cup Artichoke quarters, 2 Tablespoons Milk or Cream and up to 1 Tablespoon Flour to thicken the sauce.
  • Add 1 Cup Baby spinach and 3 Ounces Parmesan Cheese (shredded) stir to combine and serve.

Notes

Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a little milk or chicken broth before heating it up over low heat on top of the stove.
  • If you are using fresh spinach, try not to overcook it for the best results, let it wilt and stir it into the pasta.
  • If you are using canned artichokes, make sure they are fully drained before adding them to the pasta.
  • Make the recipe kid-friendly by chopping the spinach and blending it into the sauce with a food processor or blender.
