Are you a fan of Spinach Artichoke dip? Oh, you will love this pasta dish if you are! It’s a delicious pasta casserole loaded with chicken, spinach, artichoke, cheese and creamy base. Finger-licking-good!

So my sweet, little baby sister has officially turned into a teenager. Sass, eye rolls, mood swings and attitude are now all making a regular appearance at home. More so at mom’s house than at mine, but still they are sudden and they are frequent. Mood swings and changes of taste specifically. I thought that my little guy’s taste changes too often but I was not prepared for this one. Many of her (what used to be) favorite dishes now get an eye roll and a “I don’t like that, what are out talking about?!” response. One week she wants something and the next week, she won’t even touch it. Makes it hard for mom to shop for food, that’s for sure.

To tell you the truth, she is not this bad when she stays with me. May be because she knows that tears and pouty face doesn’t work on me, that attitude is not tolerated or may be because she doesn’t live with me, but she is willing to try a lot more new foods with me and will at least try what I put in front of her, unlike at home. So mom and I take that opportunity to get her to try new veggies and just foods she won’t touch at home.

So while she stayed with me this past weekend, I made some new dishes for her to try and I was very happy with the response. This pasta bake in particular got a great response from her. She even asked if the recipe will be on my site so she can ask mom to make it at home. Not only that she tried and liked artichokes, she ate something that was green and full of spinach! Yyyyaaay!

    I put this together two nights ago and left it in the fridge overnight. Then yesterday, as my oven was preheating, I left this on the counter to come to room temp a bit. When the oven was ready, I popped it in for a baking time of about 25 minutes (probably should have been longer but we were not patient). It was amazing! Thank you so much. My boyfriend had seconds. I will definitely make this again 😊

    Oh Lordy I can almost taste the cheese — I love how you captured that stretch! Now if I had my big guys and little guys here there is no way I could have gotten as far as you did without barring the door! I like the addition of the vegetables to the dish — it makes getting vegetable haters to eat their veggies. Great recipe and thank you for sharing.

      Oh yes! Cheese and bacon are the two tricks that work for me to feed veggies to these veggie haters 🙂
      Thank you, Marisa!
