Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
- 14 oz Marinated artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the marinated artichoke hearts and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the lemon zest and juice. Toss to combine.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, to loosen the sauce if needed.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
