Serves 4 Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients:
- 2 jars Grilled Artichokes
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1⁄2 lb. spaghetti
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1⁄4 tsp. crushed red chile flakes (Try our Calabrian Crushed Peppers)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2⁄3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Place artichokes cut side down on grill pan and cook until tender, 2 minutes per side. Place grilled artichokes in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add pasta; cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 6-7 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water; set aside.
- Heat remaining oil and 3 tbsp. butter in a 12″ skillet over medium heat; add pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is soft, 4-5 minutes. Add remaining lemon juice along with zest, cooked pasta, and ½ cup Parmesan and toss together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth sauce. Stir in remaining butter and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, divide pasta evenly between four bowls and top with artichokes; garnish with Parmesan and parsley. Buon Appetito!
