Recipe Notes
- If you don't have elbow macaroni, any short pasta will work for this recipe.
- You don't have to broil the macaroni and cheese at the end if you don't care if the top is browned.
- Shred blocks of cheese for this recipe. Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded bagged cheese.
Here's how to make it:
- Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet, preferably a cast iron skillet. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until it turns light brown, about 1 minute.
- Add the artichoke hearts and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the milk and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until pasta is al dente and milk has reduced by at least half, about 9 to 10 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese has melted. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Put the skillet under a preheated broiler until it melts and starts to lightly brown.
