Ingredients
- 2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen spinach
- 1 pound whole wheat or whole grain penne pasta or macaroni (any short cut pasta)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large shallot, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
- 1 (10-ounce) box frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted, halved, pat dry
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 slightly rounded tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 5 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Defrost the spinach in the microwave. Drain, then dry the spinach out as much as possible by wringing it out in a clean kitchen towel.
- Bring a saucepot of water to a boil. Add salt. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add the shallots and garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the artichokes and cook until they are lightly brown. Add the wine to deglaze the pan.
- While the artichokes and pasta cook, in a saucepot over medium to medium-high heat, add the butter. When melted, whisk in the flour for 1 minute or so, then whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, adjust the seasonings and stir in the Gruyere cheese. Combine the sauce with the spinach, pasta, and artichoke and stir until just combined. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with the remaining cheese. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
- Bake on a baking sheet 45 minutes or until brown and bubbly on top.
