2 cups grated mozzarella (8 ounces)
Black Pepper
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain and return it to the pot. Heat broiler.
Add the artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan, half the mozzarella and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the past and toss to combine.

Both of these dishes were FABULOUS! I loved creamed spinach, so as you can see I doubled the first recipe so we could enjoy that as well. If you want to have a vegetarian meal that is tasty and relatively healthy, these are your tickets! Chris and I both made happy plates:
By the way, these fabulous turquoise dishes and baking dish are from the Southern Living at Home Collection, which I was able to purchase from my dear friend Anna. Shout out!
