01
Step 1
Start by spreading the asparagus evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish, then scatter the artichoke hearts over the top. Pop the dish into the oven as it warms up so some of the extra moisture can cook off the veggies.

Step 2
While that’s happening, microwave the spinach and mushrooms in a microwave-safe bowl for about 5 minutes, or until most of the moisture has evaporated. Then transfer them to a pot over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, cream cheese, and broth, stirring constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens—this usually takes around 5 minutes.

Step 3
Turn the heat down to low, then stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Let it cook for another few minutes so the flavors blend nicely. Take the casserole out of the oven and pour this creamy sauce over the veggies. Lay slices of Cheddar cheese on top.

Step 4
Bake everything at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, until the cheese gets lightly browned and the edges look a bit crispy. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before digging in—it makes it easier to serve and the flavors settle nicely.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines creamy, cheesy flavors with fresh vegetables for a comforting yet healthy meal. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for both family dinners and entertaining guests.

How to serve
Serve this casserole warm alongside a crisp green salad or crusty bread. It pairs well with roasted chicken or grilled fish for a complete meal. For a vegetarian option, add a side of garlic mashed potatoes or quinoa for extra protein.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the casserole to cool completely before covering and refrigerating. It will keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at a low temperature until heated through to maintain its creamy texture. You can also freeze portions for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
