En gryta ugnsgratinerad spenat och konstgjord solros mac och ost

👩‍🍳 Gör så här

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. 2
   In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Stir in the milk and cream cheese and cook until the cream cheese has melted and the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes more.
3. 3
   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 cups of the cheddar and 3 tablespoons of the butter. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in the spinach and artichokes. If the sauce feels too thick, add ¼ cup of milk or water to thin it.
4. 4
   Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar.
5. 5
   In a medium bowl, stir together the crackers, the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, and the garlic powder. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the mac and cheese.
6. 6
   Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve. Store any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
