Pasta in a Creamy Artichoke & Saffron Sauce (Rachael Ray Express Lane Meals, p70)

TASTE: OK
PREP: Fairly easy
REPEAT: MAYBE (single batch, less pasta or more flavor and cream and add chicken)
NOTES: Made a double batch thinking that we needed it since it serves 4 and there are 6 of us. Of course, I was thinking 7 at the time forgetting that Christian wasn't here. In any case, I'm not sure if it was the recipe or the whole wheat pasta, but it really wasn't so creamy, at least not in the sense that I expected. Flavor was OK to Good, but not a hit with anyone else in the family. Maybe would have been better with chicken seasoned, grilled and chopped up into the dish. I ended up eating it with alfredo sauce to make it a creamier dish. Could try using less pasta in case it was the whole wheat that made it less creamy.

KEY INGREDIENTS: saffron, artichoke hearts quartered, heavy cream, white wine, parmesan, parsley
