Collage of the first four steps to making the one-pot recipe for chicken spaghetti with vegetables.
  1. In a Dutch oven, place the cooked chicken sausage and quartered marinated artichoke hearts.
  2. Add water to the pot and turn on high heat.
  3. Add dried linguine pasta, optional Parmesan cheese rind, olive oil, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat (approximately 5 minutes). Boil while stirring and turning the pasta occasionally until it's al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated (8 to 10 minutes).
Collage of the final steps to making the easy pasta dinner with chicken, spinach, parmesan, and artichoke hearts.
  1. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the bunch of fresh spinach.
  2. Mix to combine and wilt the spinach.
  3. Remove from heat, take out the Parmesan rind, and add the grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Toss to combine all ingredients. Taste and season with additional salt if necessary.

🥫 Storage

Refrigerating leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Freezing: This dish may be frozen, but keep in mind the texture of the chicken sausage pasta and spinach can change slightly upon thawing.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. You may need to add a bit of chicken broth or stock to adjust the sauce consistency, as it can thicken upon reheating.

📚 Variations

  • Skip the chicken sausage and make it a vegetarian dish. You can add extra vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for additional flavor and texture.
  • For a seafood version, you can add cooked shrimp, scallops, or crab meat during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a creamy sauce, replace the water with heavy cream and toss in some grated Parmesan cheese. This will result in a creamy spinach and artichoke Alfredo pasta.
  • While linguine works wonderfully, feel free to try this recipe with other pasta types like penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni for a change in texture.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

  • Pay close attention to the pasta while boiling. You want it to be "al dente," which means it's cooked but still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta can become mushy.
  • Stir the pasta occasionally during boiling to prevent it from sticking together. You can also add a bit more olive oil to reduce sticking.
  • Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning, especially the salt, to your liking. It's easier to add more seasoning than to fix an overly salty dish.

🤔 FAQs

Can I use fresh artichoke hearts instead of marinated ones?

Yes, you can use fresh artichoke hearts, but marinated ones add extra flavor. If using fresh, consider marinating them briefly in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for added taste.

What can I substitute for the Parmesan cheese rind?

You can omit the Parmesan cheese rind if you don't have it. The dish will still be flavorful, but the rind adds a subtle umami depth.

Can I use a different type of sausage in this recipe?

Yes, you can use your preferred sausage, whether it's Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or any other variety. Choose one that complements your taste.

What is "al dente" pasta?

Al dente pasta should be cooked until it's tender but still has a slight firmness when you bite into it. It should not be overly soft or mushy.

What's the best way to adjust the sauce consistency if it's too thick or too runny?

To thicken the sauce, you can add more grated Parmesan cheese. To make it less thick, you can add a bit of chicken broth or stock while reheating. Adjust gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
