Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (6 oz)
  • 1 small tomato, cut into fourths
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cups bite-size pieces spinach leaves
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (14 oz) quartered artichokes hearts, drained, rinsed

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Rinse with cold water; drain.
  • 2
    While pasta is cooking, place tomato, pesto, salt and pepper in food processor or blender. Cover; process 30 seconds.
  • 3
    Toss pasta, pesto mixture and remaining ingredients.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use the packaged already-cleaned spinach found in the salad section of the produce department.
  • tip 2
    No bow-tie pasta in the pantry? Other medium-size pasta shapes, such as shells, rotini or fusilli, work too.
