A simple yet flavorful pasta dish made with tender noodles tossed in olive oil, garlic, savory artichokes, and Parmesan cheese for a fresh and comforting meal.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the chopped artichokes and cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
  4. Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to combine.
  6. Pour in a small amount of reserved pasta water to help create a light sauce.
  7. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add lemon juice if desired.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to help loosen and emulsify the sauce.
  • Adjust salt if using marinated artichokes.
  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
