Ingredients for your Spinach Artichoke Casserole

The full recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and save the recipe to your personal and private recipe box right here on Call Me PMc. This way you’ll never misplace it.

  • Artichoke hearts. I used half a jar with two tablespoons of the liquid.
  • Spinach. I used frozen but fresh will work. You can also use fresh kale.
  • Orzo. Orzo is a small rice-shaped pasta.
  • Garlic. Fresh garlic is the most flavorful.
  • Seasonings. You may want to taste before you add salt. I used ground black pepper and red pepepr flakes and found I didn’t need salt.
  • Pesto. Either prepared or fresh pesto will work.
  • Cheese. I use monterrey, mozzorella, and Parmesan. You can really use any creamy, melty cheese that you like or have on hand.
  • Vegetable broth. Or water or chicken broth.

This recipe couldn’t be more simple. It’s made in one pan in the oven. I served it as a main dish, but it can be a side. As well, you can add chopped or shredded cooked chicken to it. I added 2 cups of chopped traditional rotisserie chicken and it was amazing.

Additionally, as with any one pot pasta dish, the liquid quantities work as tested in my kitchen, but pots/stoves/oven temperatures can vary. If you feel like it needs more liquid, add another splash of broth or water. If it seems too wet, let it sit for a bit longer, and it’ll soak any excess liquid up within a few minutes.
