06of 18Creamy Chicken Pasta with Brussels Sprouts & ArtichokesPhotographer: Jennifer Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Christina DaleyThe creamy white wine-garlic sauce helps blend artichokes and shaved Brussels sprouts together with nutty whole-wheat pasta in this quick dinner. Use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to shave the Brussels sprouts. If you opt for pre-packaged shaved sprouts, note that they might be on the thicker side, requiring a few extra minutes of cooking time. You can swap in canned artichokes, but they tend to have more sodium than frozen, so give them a good rinse before adding.View Recipe
