Citrus-Infused Pasta with Tangy Artichokes
Ingredients:
8 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Directions:
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the artichoke hearts, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir until melted and creamy.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
