I hosted my sister's bachelorette party this weekend and I was left with a lot of leftover snacks as well as some ingredients that just never got used. I make a mean
spinach and artichoke dip and had originally planned on doubling the recipe but never got around to it. That left me with a can of artichoke hearts that I just couldn't let go to waste! I ended up finding a couple of recipes for artichoke pasta sauce and figured that I could fine tune my own crockpot recipe in no time. This was what we ended up with, we all liked it but my oldest and youngest daughters LOVED it. I served the sauce on some bowtie pasta with
chickpea nuggets and a green salad!
