How to Make Lemon Braised Artichokes Over Pasta

  1. **Herbes de Provence:**
  2. Combine 2 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp dried basil, and 1 tsp salt in a small bowl.
  3. Store in an airtight container away from light and heat for up to 4 months.
  4. **Artichoke Hearts:**
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  7. Prepare artichokes: Snap off outer leaves until you reach light green leaves. Cut off the top 1 inch and trim stems. Use a paring knife to trim down to the heart, rubbing cut surfaces with lemon half to prevent discoloration.
  8. Cut each heart in half, scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon, then cut each half into quarters.
  9. Immediately toss each artichoke quarter in the marinade to coat.
  10. Transfer artichokes and marinade to a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool in the cooking liquid.
  12. **Pasta:**
  13. Cook 1 lb fettuccine according to package directions.
  14. While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  15. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until golden.
  16. Stir in 1/2 tsp dried oregano and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  17. Add 5 oz fresh spinach and wilt.
  18. Add the braised artichokes and heat through.
  19. Drain pasta and add to a serving bowl.
  20. Pour the artichoke mixture over pasta, toss with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
  21. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
