Something easy, fast and always good the next day too!
A 12 oz. box of rice penne pasta, cooked as directions require. Of course you can use any penne pasta, but I love rice penne.
In a large frying pan heat up:
1/3 cup virgin olive oil
Stir in:
4 crushed cloves of garlic (it's a lot, but it's good)
Stir in and cook until almost caramelized:
2 thinly sliced onions - you can use sweet onions or standard yellows, but the sweet are a little nicer
Add these, thinly sliced:
1 pound of mushrooms (baby portabello or white)
cook until browned around the edges
Finally add and heat through:
4 crushed cloves of garlic (it's a lot, but it's good)

Add these, thinly sliced:

Finally add and heat through:
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup quartered artichoke hearts
Add any additional olive oil as needed -- then toss in the penne pasta, sea salt to taste and lots of fresh ground pepper and heat through.
Serve with some freshly grated parmesan cheese - if you wish and some green ripe olives. It's a hit.

This looks heavenly! And like Weds night dinner! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy we actually have a can of artichoke hearts right now! When we finish our soup, i want to make this.
ReplyDeleteit is so darn easy!
ReplyDeleteOoh, first of all, I love that this is vegan.
ReplyDeleteMost importantly, though, is that this might get me over my artichoke fear. Everyone raves about them, but the one time that I gave artichokes a taste, they must have been pickled (in a salad), which scared me away.
Thanks for the lovely recipe and the new blog to read. :)
Yum looks lovely! Congrats on the new blog!
