This Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread made with baby spinach, artichoke hearts and a lemony, cheese sauce is perfect for pizza night or game day snacking.

With the next several weekends being glued to the TV between the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, I wanted to create another flatbread recipe since my family really enjoyed the Copycat Olive Garden Caprese Flatbread I made over the summer. It’s kind of a Sunday ritual in our house anyway to make a few appetizers and stay home on a Sunday.

It’s our “family connection day” and we try not to make plans outside of the home. We generally either entertain family or just relax and watch movies while unwinding from the previous week. I decided to make a new experiment and created this Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread; which has a little lemony twist.

This Spinach & Artichoke Flatbread made with fresh baby spinach, marinated artichokes and a lemony alfredo sauce was INCREDIBLE! It makes 20 pieces, but it was very difficult to eat just one piece of this. The tangy lemon sauce combined with the tart flavor of the marinated artichokes really gave this flatbread a nice flavor. The family really liked this version and said I could definitely make this one again. ~Enjoy!
