Ingredients

• 12 oz linguini pasta
• 14 oz artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the linguini, then set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly golden on the edges.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable or chicken stock into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, reducing the liquid slightly.

Step 7

Add the drained linguini to the skillet, tossing the pasta to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, tossing to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired.
