Tortellini Spinach Artichoke Bake
Mike loves Spinach and Artichoke dip. It’s not that I don’t like Spinach and Artichoke dip, I just don’t like it as much as Mike does. I also find it really hard to find ways to use up the ingredients that were used in the dip afterward.
It’s a great way to use up spinach and artichoke!
Mike tried to make this a few days later, but did not realize we had artichoke and spinach, so he didn’t use either of those. He said it did not taste quite the same…. I highly suggest using both spinach and artichoke when making this dish.
