- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 50 mins
- Yields: 8 Servings
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and divided
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
4 ounces shredded fontina cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
16 ounces frozen spinach, thawed with excess water squeezed out
Directions
1Preheat oven to 375˚F. Lightly grease a 13”x9” baking dish and set aside.
2Melt the butter in a medium pot, then add flour and stir together to create a roux. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in milk and continue to stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in cream cheese and continue to stir until no lumps remain. Season with salt and pepper.
3Stir in cheeses until fully incorporated and mixture is smooth. Stir in the spinach and green onions.
4Place cooked pasta in a large mixing bowl and pour spinach-cheese sauce over. Stir together until all the pasta is well coated. Fold in the quartered artichoke hearts and adjust seasonings.
5Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with extra shredded cheese.
6Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and slightly browned on top.

I love any excuse to eat dip for dinner, and this seems to incorporate another favorite, creamed spinach. I’ll be trying this soon.
