3 cups uncooked whole-wheat rigatoni or your favorite low-carb pasta
1 pkg (10-oz) frozen creamed spinach
1 can (14-oz) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained, quartered
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Preheat broiler.
Grease a 2-quart broiler-proof casserole dish; set aside.
Prepare both the rigatoni and the spinach according to their package directions. When draining pasta save 1/2 cup of the water. Return pasta to pan.
Stir the artichoke, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and the cooked spinach into the pasta. If desired, use some of the reserved pasta water to thin mixture.
Place the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Broil dish 4 to 6-inches from the heat for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Yield: 4 servings
Per serving: 448 calories, 14 g fat (8 g sat), 54 g carbs, 3 g fiber, 28 g protein
Note: The carb count is rather high but so is the protein count. Diabetics should have at least 1/3 as many protein grams and carb grams. This recipe has over half as many protein grams as it does carb grams. The nutritional info is based on the whole-wheat pasta. By using a low-carb pasta you lower the numbers considerably.
