Why This Artichoke Pasta is so Delicious and so Simple!

Personally, I love artichoke. I find myself incorporating them into many of my pasta dishes and they’re absolutely great to use in other dishes such as pizza or salad.

Artichokes are described to have a nutty flavor to them, but if using marinated artichoke hearts in a jar, you’ll get more of the herb and citric flavors which can be great for adding more flavor to a dish! Since I’m pairing lemon and marinated artichoke hearts together, this is a perfect way to make a fresh and rich pasta for anyone to enjoy.

Also, not only are artichokes delicious on their own but they are low in fat, and high in fiber, folate and vitamins C and K! Not only will you be loving the food, but so will your body.

If you’ve never had artichokes before, now’s the time to try!

Lemony Artichoke Pasta

Recipe Tips

  • I prefer using bowtie/farfalle pasta because they’re fun and add character to the dish. You can, of course, use any pasta of your choice.
  • I prefer to use jarred marinated artichokes because they add that extra flavor of the herbs and oils compared to plain ones.
  • To keep this pasta nice and silky, make sure to grate your garlic cloves. It’ll blend nicely into the sauce, keeping the flavor without having to bite into garlic chunks.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 1 stick butter, unsalted
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 oz freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup pasta water
  • 12 oz jar of marinated artichokes, drained (or 7 oz dry)
  • handful of fresh parsley
  • salt if needed
