Spinach & Artichoke Pasta

I try not to eat too many carbs because they really make me blow up like a balloon but, when I do eat them I try to have them at lunch so that I can avoid the 3pm crash at work.  When I saw this recipe I had to go for it because I love spinach & artichokes together.  I did alter it a bit but, it's still inexpensive to make (as per the point of the particular blog I got it from) and really healthy.
