One Pot Baked Spinach and Artichoke Mac and Cheese.
You know those fallback recipes? The ones you make over and over again? Well, this One Pot Baked Spinach and Artichoke Mac and Cheese is mine. It’s the easiest and best mac-and-cheese recipe. It uses just one pot, and the ingredients and methods are simple. My trick is to first boil the pasta in just enough water to start the cooking process, then add milk and cream cheese. That means there’s no boiling and draining the pasta, and no fussing around with making a roux either. Plus the cream cheese creates a light and creamy sauce without having to add any additional flour-like in a béchamel.
What’s really great about this recipe is just how adaptable it is. When my brothers are around, I omit the veggies, but I include a few chipotle peppers in adobo, and I use half pepper jack and half cheddar cheese. It’s one of their favorites!

Made it for a work potluck and it was a HUGE success!
Hi Shelly,
Happy Friday!! Thanks a bunch for trying this recipe and sharing your review. I love that it was enjoyed!! Happy 4th of July weekend!🇺🇸
Made this tonight, my 19 year old foodie and I both loved it. I liked your suggestions for adapting the recipe for different tastes. Next time I think I will do the pepper jack mixed with cheddar, and I like mine a bit creamier, so, more milk. I used cavatappi instead of macaroni, since it’s my favorite pasta, and it worked beautifully in this. Thanks, TG!
