Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 oz pasta of choice, such as penne
  • 15 oz can quartered artichoke hearts in brine, drained
  • 2 TBS olive oil, divided
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flake
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 15 oz can white beans
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking liquid.
  2. Heat 1 TBS olive oil in a skillet. Add artichokes, tossing to coat in the oil. Cook turning only once more until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
  3. Add the remaining TBS olive oil with the garlic, red pepper flake, and Italian seasoning. Saute stirring constantly until the garlic just start to caramelize, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
  4. Mix in the white beans and salt. Toss to coat and cook until the wine reduces in half, if it hasn't already (it will happen quickly).
  5. Mix in the pasta, reserved pasta cooking liquid, and seared artichokes. Cook until the sauce is thickened, about 1 more minute.
  6. Divide among 4 plates or bowls, top with shredded parmesan and fresh cracked black pepper.
Notes
Most of the prep time is waiting for the water to boil to cook the pasta.
