US - Metric

Instructions

  • Boil your choice of pasta in salted water. Cook according to package directions.
  • Peel and dice 1 onion, and mince 3 cloves of garlic. Add them to 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes, then cook until the onions are translucent.
  • Turn the heat up to medium and add 1 diced red bell pepper and 8 oz of sliced mushrooms, cooking for about 5 more minutes..
  • Add the entire jar of marinated artichokes, including the liquid. (Use kitchen scissors to cut the artichokes into smaller pieces if needed.)
  • Add 1/4 cup of pasta water to the veggies, then drain the cooked pasta and add it to the veggies, tossing well. Add 4 cups of baby spinach and mix until the spinach wilts. Add the juice of 1 fresh lemon, along with more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with fresh parsley, pine nuts, and/or vegan parmesan cheese. (optional)

Notes

    • Feel free to add or remove any vegetables that you wish to make this meal your own. Zucchini, broccoli, and kale also go well in this dish.
    • I also love sun-dried tomatoes and/or capers in this artichoke pasta. They are optional, but they add a ton of flavor.
