I made this recipe this evening exactly as stated in the magazine. My husband ate it and said it was "okay". My 9 year old didn't like it at all. I too thought it was just okay. I think because we are used to a more creamier type of sauce with our pastas we thought this seemed more "oily" tasting than flavorful. We won't make this again nor would I recommend it unless you like a non-creamy sauce type pasta dish.

I don't have artichokes, don't like them, dried tomatoes, or fresh spinach, but want to try this recipe, it sounds wonderful.  Can I leave out the artichokes, use canned tomatoes, and frozen spinach?  Ruth
