(Printable Recipe)

Ingredients

¼ Cup Olive Oil
8 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
8 Artichoke Hearts (canned in water), drained and quartered
¼ Cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and chopped
1 ¼ Cup Chicken Broth
4 Plum Tomatoes, coarsely chopped
8 Basil Leaves
Sea Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
1 lb Linguine, cooked al dente
2 Tbsp Freshly Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Method

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. Add the quartered artichoke hearts, the olives, and the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and allow the liquid to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.

Add the tomatoes and basil, and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Season the mixture with sea salt and pepper.

Place the cooked linguine in a serving bowl. Spoon the sauce over the pasta to combine. Sprinkle with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
