Dinner 4One: Spinach Artichoke Pasta

Spinach Artichoke Pasta

This whole week has been just little ol’ me and the Brody Monster haning out a la casa de Ginger. It’s been a while since Chuck has had to be gone for more than a night, and as much as I love having him around sometimes it’s just nice to be on my own.

I have finally gotten some much needed cleaning done, set up some new camera toys and practiced. I bought Tasty Food Photography way back in January and though I’ve read it through I haven’t had much the opportunity to practice what I have learned. Something about a big bearded man craning his neck over my shoulder, asking “when’s dinner” that really puts the ki-bosh on getting the AH-mazing photos I know I’m capable of. I keep telling both him and myself that patience is a virtue, but this week has helped me get my feet back on the ground with it all.

I mean look at these pictures!
Now let’s get back on track here and talk a little bit about the Spinach Artichoke Wonder-Pot. Call me crazy but I simply cannot understand these “wonder-pot” things that seem to be floating around the internet, I mean even Martha is on that band wagon. I just cannot get behind the idea of dumping everything into one pan, adding water and boiling the hell out of it. Why aren’t we sautéing the onion and garlic? Or getting some good carmelization on the mushrooms people? The point is to make a pasta dish, not coddle, or a pot roast or something.
I know we are all going for ease here, but that couple extra minutes to get some more flavor out the food we are cooking is so worth it. Don’t you think?

    The recipe called for a cup of uncooked pasta, and no mention was made of cooking it prior to adding it to the other ingredients, but I’m assuming that is what you meant?

      Yep, This is a one pan meal, by cooking the pasta with the other ingredients it will help make the dish a little starchier, and the whole cooking process faster. Let me know what you think!

    Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!|
