Freezer club prep: Thaw, reheat and EAT! Serve with a salad and garlic bread.
Ingredients:
1 (13 oz) box shell pasta
1 tsp butter
2 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 8 oz package reduced fat (not fat free) cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1T lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 14 oz can artichoke hearts (packed in water), drained and chopped
10 oz chopped, frozen spinach, thawed, with as much excess water squeezed out as possible
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
Additional Parmesan for serving
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Slowly stir in milk, sour cream, then add lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir in artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan cheese and chicken
3. Drain pasta and add to artichoke mix. Toss and season to taste with salt and additional lemon juice as needed. Serve with additional shredded Parmesan.
*I made 6x this recipe for freezer club and it made about 8 (8x8 square) containers. (I did divide the cost by 8, so the price wasn't skewed per meal)
