Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 ounces shredded parmesan cheese
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 12 ounces marinated quartered artichoke hearts
  • 16 ounces Casarecce pasta (or penne/rigatoni)

Instructions

  1. In a large cast iron pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking until lightly golden (about 2 minutes).
  2. Boil salted water in another pot and cook pasta until just under al dente. Reserve one cup of cooking liquid before draining.
  3. Gradually whisk evaporated milk into the roux until smooth, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook the sauce until thickened (about three minutes), then stir in most of the shredded cheese along with spinach and artichokes.
  5. Mix in the cooked pasta until well combined. If needed, add reserved cooking liquid to adjust consistency.
  6. Top with remaining cheese and broil for 4 to 6 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
