Chicken Spinach Artichoke Pasta

This chicken spinach artichoke pasta is the perfect family dinner! It’s easy to throw together for a weeknight and elevated enough to serve to guests.

I like to use giant shells in this recipe that way the sauce, cheese and fillings get trapped inside the shells but you can use any pasta you prefer.

I use canned artichokes packed in water (drained) in this recipe but you can use jarred, marinated or frozen.
