Thanks Pinterest!

Before getting married, I never cooked. I was afraid I couldn't cook. I now love cooking/baking and always love trying knew recipes. And now that I have found Pinterest, I have more delicious recipes to try. Last night I made a spinach/artichoke bake. The original recipe sounded so delicious, but I tweaked it a bit.

Spinach/Artichoke Bake

Prep time: 35-45 minutes

Cook time: 10-15 minutes

Servings: about 8

Ingredients:

* 14 oz Orecchiette pasta

* 1 small onion, chopped

* 3 cloves garlic, minced

*1 cup light sour cream

* 4 oz light cream cheese, room temperature

* Olive oil

* 1 cup Parmesan cheese

* 2 tsp lemon juice

* 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess moisture

* 14 oz can artichoke hearts, rinsed and chopped

* 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes

* 2 cups Mozzarella cheese

* Grated Parmesan cheese

* Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning (or 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Keep 1/4 cup of the liquid before draining pasta.

3. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in pan and saute onion for 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

4. In a large bowl, mix sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese,lemon juice, onions, and garlic. Add the pasta and mix well.

5. Stir in spinach, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup cooking liquid, 1 cup Mozzarella, and a generous amount of TJ Everyday Seasoning.

6. Place mixture into greased 3 Qt. casserole dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the remainder of the Mozzarella, some grated Parmesan cheese, and a little more seasoning.

7. Place in oven and bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy with a glass of white wine!

Note: The original recipe called for regular sour cream, cream cheese, and cheese. I used all low-fat products including cheese. I also used a little more cheese. Also you could easily add chicken or even bacon bits! Yum!
