Creamy Spinach Artichoke Linguine

Skip the green-dyed foods this St. Paddy’s Day and celebrate with naturally green Spinach Linguine with a Creamy Chicken Sausage Artichoke Sauce!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Although you probably won’t find me at an Irish bar guzzling down green beer, or eating a not-so-healthy-green-dyed bagel, I’m still being festive by eating naturally green meals today.

While a giant plate of corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes is the traditional meal for St. Patrick’s Day, I’m going to mix it up and go green with Spinach Linguine served with a Creamy Chicken Sausage and Artichoke Sauce.

I used spinach linguine in this recipe but if you don’t have any on hand, you can certainly use regular or whole-wheat linguine or fettuccine.

For the sauce I used mild Italian chicken sausage. Chicken sausage is great because it adds lots of flavor to the dish without all of the extra fat of traditional pork sausage. When choosing your chicken sausage, opt for organic or an all-natural kind that is free from artificial preservatives, colorings, and flavors.

For vegetables, I added baby spinach and artichoke hearts. I love the creamy combo of spinach-artichoke anything, so adding these two green veggies into this dish was a no-brainer.

Now for the creaminess. I used Anthony’s Premium Heavy Cream Powder. I have to admit, this was the first time I have ever used powdered heavy cream, and I am very pleased with the results!
