Artichoke Cream PastaSo you’ve made a big tub of artichoke dip. Now you’ve got some leftover and need something to use it for quick before all the dairy products in it start breaking down and it goes rancid. All you need to do is add a little cream and a rich and decadent pasta sauce is easily as your fingertips.

Orrechiette is one of my favorite pasta shapes. Cream sauces easily stick inside its concave shape and its thick enough so that it has body. Unfortunately, this is not one of the most common shapes found and you may have to go a little out of your way to an Italian market or a gourmet supermarket to find it.

Artichoke Cream Orrechiette with Broccoli
