Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
    • 2 tablespoons raw pine nuts
    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • kosher salt and pepper
    • 1 (8 ounce) jar marinated artichokes hearts, drained
    • 1 pound penne pasta
    • 2 cups fresh spinach
    • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
    • 8 ounces brie, cubed
    • zest + juice from 1 lemon
    • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
    • 1 jalapeno, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, crushed red pepper, and artichokes in a medium skillet over medium low heat. Cook, stirring often until the garlic is caramelized and the artichokes begin to fry and crisp on the edges, about 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until al dente, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and then stir in the spinach, cook 30 seconds and then drain. Add the pasta + spinach right back to the hot pot along with the mascarpone, brie, lemon zest + juice, and about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water. Toss until creamy and combined. Add the basil and artichokes + oil, stirring to combine. Thin the sauce as desired with more pasta cooking water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with jalapeños. EAT!
