Ingredients for Artichoke Pasta

  • Marinated Artichokes
  • Garlic Clove
  • Fresh Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
  • Linguine
  • Lemon, Juice Of
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

How to Make Artichoke Pasta

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat the reserved artichoke oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic, parsley, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  4. Add the drained artichoke hearts to the skillet and mash them slightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately in bowls, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and extra black pepper, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
