Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Add the drained and quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet, along with the red pepper flakes. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat it in the sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and optional grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
