Recipe Inspiration
I love artichokes - and I love getting creative with them in recipes! They can do so much more than spinach and artichoke dip (even though it's delicious!)
Reese artichokes are the perfect ingredient for dressing up recipes, and they truly shine in this pasta dish! I plan on serving this during the holiday season. It's a super easy dish that's perfect for the whole family.
I love using the Reese Quartered Artichoke Hearts and the Reese Chopped Artichoke Hearts in this recipe because they add different textures while adding delicious flavors to the recipe.
