Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 2 cups button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta, then set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet, followed by the white wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
Pour in the vegetable broth and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir until melted and combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the pasta with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
