Baked Artichoke Pasta & Cleaning up with Scotch-Brite®

Cooking meals means cleaning. I’ll be honest cleaning is my least favorite part of cooking. I will say that thanks to my Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge and Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge cleaning is must easier and quicker.

Remember how I told you that Izzy and I ventured to our new Walmart, well we went back. Below I’m showing you were to find these sponges so ease your shopping adventure.

Each sponge is made to clean different types of messes without ruining your cookware or counters. To clean up my glass pan after cooking my delicious baked pasta dish (recipe below) I use my Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge, it’s green. This sponge cleans tough baked on messes with ease. I use it to clean my pots, pans, oven racks and stove top racks. Beyond cooking, it’s also great for cleaning the garage (such as tools) or outdoors (such as tires) as well.

The Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge (which is blue), is perfect for when I need to clean up the counters. My mom and husband tell me I’m the messiest cook. But hey, the food tastes good so, who can really complain, right?

I’m also of course sharing one of my favorite baked dishes, which will require the Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Sponge to clean once you devour the meal. If you love artichokes feel free to add two cans instead of one. 😉
