About 3 tablespoons EVOO
1/4 pound guanciale or bacon, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped or thinly sliced
Black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock/poaching liquid from Poached Chicken, recipe follows
10 to 12 artichoke hearts, drained, from two 6-ounce pouches, one 10-ounce box of frozen and defrosted, or one 14-ounce can
Pici, bucatini or penne pasta
Salt
A fat handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 to 2/3 cup freshly grated caciocavallo or Pecorino cheese
One 4-to 5-pound chicken
2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lemon, sliced
1 large fresh bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Herb bundle of parsley, rosemary and thyme tied with a string
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add the guanciale or bacon and cook until crisp. Add the onion, garlic and a little pepper and stir for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and stir. Add the stock and artichokes and heat through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
  • To serve, bring water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente, reserving 1 cup of the starchy water just before draining. Add the pasta to the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley and half the cheese and cook, tossing to combine and adding some of the starchy pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with more cheese on top.
  • Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns and the herb bundle; season with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a low, rolling simmer. Simmer 60 to 75 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 slices center-cut bacon
One 12-ounce bag frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
One 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 sheet lavash
1 cup baby arugula
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and add the artichoke hearts. Cook over medium heat until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the canola oil, then the garlic and chile flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Trim the lavash as necessary to fit on a sheet tray and spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the top. Top with artichokes and bacon and bake until the cheese is melted and the lavash has crisped at the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Toss the arugula with olive oil and the remaining tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the flatbread with olive oil, then top with arugula and cut into slices.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE ALFREDO PIZZA

Make and share this Spinach Artichoke Alfredo Pizza recipe from Food.com.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     Spinach

Time 35m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pizza crust, prebaked for about 10 minutes (homemade or storebought )
1/2 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
pepper
1 1/2-2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 -3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir together the cream, butter and cream cheese until fully melted.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese and garlic powder and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Spread the sauce over the pizza crust. You might have some left over for dipping depending on how saucy you like your pizza.
  • Sprinkle sauce with chopped spinach, mozzarella, artichoke hearts and parmesan cheese. Add any additional toppings you desire, like bacon, mushroom, spices, etc.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese begins to brown. Let sit 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the bacon, artichoke hearts, and spinach before you start cooking to make the assembly process quicker.
  • Use a pre-made pizza crust to save time: You can find pre-made pizza crusts in the refrigerated or frozen section of most grocery stores.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: If you add too many toppings, the pizza will be soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust to get crispy and the cheese to melt and bubble.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

This bacon, spinach, and artichoke pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty pizza recipe, give this one a try.
