This 15-minute meal is a guaranteed win. It’s packed with protein, greens, and plenty of cheese. Starting with shortcuts like pre-cooked chicken sausage and marinated artichoke means every bite is packed with flavor despite the impressively short cook time.
The real trick here, though, is cooking all the ingredients right in the pot with the pasta, which leaves you with a single dish to clean and infuses the noodles with flavor. As the pasta boils, the water cooks down into a starchy binder, creating a silky, built-in sauce. Try it once, and you’ll be hooked.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 12 ounces
cooked chicken sausage
- 1 (12-ounce) jar
quartered, marinated artichoke hearts
- 4 1/2 cups
water
- 12 ounces
dried linguine pasta
- 1
Parmesan cheese rind (optional)
- 2 tablespoons
olive oil
- 2 teaspoons
kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch
fresh spinach
- 1 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cut 12 ounces chicken sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds and drain 1 jar marinated artichokes hearts. Place both in a large, straight-sided skillet. Add 4 1/2 cups water, 12 ounces dried linguine, 1 Parmesan cheese rind if desired, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring to a boil over high heat (this will take about 5 minutes). Boil, stirring and turning the pasta with tongs occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente and almost all the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add 1 bunch spinach.
Remove from the heat. Remove the Parmesan rind, add 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
