This simple recipe calls for fusilli pasta. It’s a spiral-shaped Italian pasta that is famous to use for pasta salads, with tomato-based sauces, and it works amazing with veggies, too. The shape of the pasta helps to retain sauces better which is great for this dish. You can substitute fusilli pasta with rotini or farfalle and penne or rigatoni if desired. For spinach, swap this with Swiss chard or arugula. And capers with chopped pitted green olives.
This wonderful Fusilli with Spinach, Artichokes, Sun-Dried Tomatoes is perfect to serve with olive bread or a baguette, or a simple side salad. If you are looking for a light date night meal, this is perfect!
