Ingredients

• 12 oz Pappardelle pasta
• 14 oz Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and quartered)
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0.25 cup Dry white wine (optional, substitute with vegetable broth if preferred)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle according to the package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the quartered artichoke hearts and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Add the white wine (or vegetable broth) to the skillet. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and the juice of 1 lemon. Stir well and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 6

Add the cooked pappardelle to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, grated Parmesan, and half of the chopped parsley.

Step 8

Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top with the remaining parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
