Baked Annie’s Shells with Spinach, Artichoke and Pancetta

"#sponsored by @annieshomegrown and @thefeedfeed. One of the most common questions I get asked is “Do your kids eat the healthy food you make”? And the answer is a hard NO! Anyone with children can sympathize with what a challenge it is to feed your family nutritious food everyone will actually eat. I get sooo tired of making three different meals for a toddler, preteen and us adults so I have a secret weapon in my back pocket. My kids would eat Annie’s Shells and White Cheddar for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them, but the hubs and I would like a little more variety in our meal plan. (Insert smiley emoji). My hack is to make two boxes of shells in a pot and dish up the kids some bowls with a plate of veggies on the side. While that cooks away, I start prepping our dinner by crisping up some pancetta (or bacon) in a skillet. Then, when the shells are ready, I stir in the pancetta, spinach, artichoke hearts and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Since we’re going to bake the shells, I love to add a little half and half to keep it extra creamy while it bakes. A healthy shower of garlicky thyme breadcrumbs on the top make for an irresistible crunch and extra flavor. With this hack, everyone gets to enjoy a delicious dinner that’s easy enough for a busy weeknight! Let Annie's Homegrown bunnies turn your mealtime into yumtime!
