EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use the packaged already-cleaned spinach found in the salad section of the produce department.

No bow-tie pasta in the pantry? Other medium-size pasta shapes, such as shells, rotini or fusilli, work too.

I made this last night and it turned out awesome! However, I did not put said ingredients in a food processor. I like the chunks of tomatoes,it give a nice texture. I also put in some shredded Parmesan cheese and omitted the artichoke hearts and carrot only because I didn't have them on hand. Yum yum in my tum tum :)

I make this recipe at least once a month - my husband and I love it! The only issue we had at first was that the raw onions were a little overpowering, so now I either sauté or caramelize the onions slightly before tossing them in. I also replaced the carrots with mushrooms (fresh, canned, and marinated all work well!)

I made this for a pot luck luncheon for college students and everyone loved it. However, I used rotini pasta and made it without artichoke & carrots and added chicken. It was delicious! You can also use diced tomatoes if you don't have fresh tomatoes!
