What's for Dinner 2/9/2011?

I really intended to add some new recipes I've tried out here... time gets away from me these days!

Last night I tried out this very simple recipe from one of my fave magazines Real Simple:

Cheesy Baked Pasta With Spinach and Artichokes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and return it to the pot.
  2. Add the artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan, 1 cup of the mozzarella, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the pasta and toss to combine.
  3. Heat broiler. Transfer the pasta mixture to a shallow 2-quart (or 8-inch square) broilerproof baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of mozzarella.
  4. Broil until the cheese is browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.

My only substitution... I added some finely chopped mushrooms and I used some fresh spinach that I had on hand (just sauteed a bit). It was DELICIOUS! Super easy, and very good. Try it sometime!
