As a bonus, this dish comes together quickly and is made in one pan for easy clean-up!

What You’ll Need

Short pasta: Any short pasta could work; I used penne

Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil: We’ll use both the oil (free flavor!) and tomatoes

Marinated artichoke hearts: The jarred variety is convenient (and, again, free flavor!)

Red bell pepper, shallot and garlic: The flavor foundation of the dish

Herbs: Dried basil, dried oregano, and fresh basil

Red chili flakes: For a little kick, but you can leave it out if you prefer

Red wine vinegar: For a touch of acidity to balance the richness of the sun-dried tomatoes

Fresh baby spinach: For added nutrition and freshness

Silken tofu, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon: For the sauce

The creamy sauce takes less than 5 minutes to make — just blend the ingredients together. For the pasta, you’ll sauté the shallot, bell pepper and garlic with the herbs and spices until the peppers become tender. You’ll then add water and pasta directly into the pan with the peppers to cook. When the pasta is cooked, add in the artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, sauce and spinach. And that’s it; dinner is done!

I know you’ll enjoy this quick and easy, nourishing weeknight dinner!
