Mixing recipes! A Spinach Artichoke Pasta Remix

  


As time has progressed and I've learned and practiced more with healthy eating, I've learned to branch out a little. And dare I say it, even try things without recipes! 
One of my FAVORITE things is spinach artichoke dip. The other used to be Alfredo. So I did my best to use all the tools at my disposal and the random things in my fridge to create a delicious combination of the two! Here's what I came up with. 

I threw 2 pieces of Tilapia in the oven at 400 for about 20 minutes.
I started cooking the pasta while all of this got started. While that was cooking I got things chopped up and in to a pan to cook trough the veggies and melt the cheese in.
Below are the ingredients I used but they could certainly vary for your taste.


1 box whole wheat pasta (your choice of style). Cook and set aside.

"Secret Sauce"
I chopped about a chunk of asparagus into small short pieces
1/2 of an orange and yellow bell pepper
4 artichoke hearts
1/2 box of frozen spinach thawed and water squeezed out
Almond Milk
1/2 small ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Salt, Pepper and Crushed Red Pepper flakes to taste

Cook on medium heat until the veggies are cooked. Then add in the cheese and blend.

This was a DELICIOUS meal!
