jay_emdee: Anybody else prefer a more velvety cheese sauce? I love the idea of this recipe, but that just looks like (please don’t ban me) too much cheese.
manbiteswolf: You could mix a bit of flour in there and make a bechamel instead of milky cheese sauce…
PacinoDeniroKilmer: Seemed to burn the heck out of that garlic
eutamias21: Per GIF recipe standards shouldn’t this be “Tuscan spinach and artichoke pasta?”
(Kidding aside, that looks tasty.)
grennhald: Anyone else uncomfortable about all the artichoke left in the bowl?
MissGrafin: For the love of spinach, stem those bad boys before you cook/wilt them! It’ll get rid of that sour spinach flavour and make a much nicer dish!
bioszombie: That cast iron would suck to clean. Lol
AlexVsPredator: THE GARLIC WAS ADDED TOO SOON!! all you’re getting is tiny black bitter bits instead of meaty garlicky heaven

roofied_elephant: I know what I’m having for dinner tonight!
cloudcats: *sticks fork straight into pan*
Seems about right. Why dirty a plate when you’re gonna eat it all anyhow?
GhostTown56: Needs bechamel based sauce or its simply noodles and a greasy mess.
Knowledge_1: Bookmarked
ombremullet: That’s some burnt ass garlic
fitbrah: mm yea so good just want to stick my dick in that gooey cheese
the_c00ler_king: That garlic is burned and will impart a bitter note throughout the whole dish.
ballsacramento: rather than be super negative about lack of bechamel in this recipe, [here](https://www.americastestkitchen.com/videos/3698-simple-stovetop-macaroni-and-cheese) is a great four ingredient one-pot mac and cheese recipe that you could def add sauteed spinach to!
Vantlefun: So like, Im bad at pasta. Is that long enough for it to cook?
FlashFlood_29: Hmm.. I’m down with the crux of this recipe but I just don’t know about the artichoke going with the pasta.
MillieBirdie: I love the idea but can we please stop with all these gifs that cook the pasta directly on the sauce like this?
