Ingredients

6 artichoke hearts
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 red chilli small, finely sliced
2 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
250 g spaghetti cooked

Instructions

Heat up some olive oil in a pan on medium heat and once it’s heated add your artichokes. Fry on both sides for a few minutes ensuring they do not burn.
Add your garlic and chilli and give everything a good toss and stir. Season accordingly with salt and pepper.
Add the spaghetti and toss everything together. If the mixture becomes a little dry add some more olive oil and a little pasta water to loosen it up a little.
Plate the spaghetti with the artichokes and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

This recipe comes courtesy of the little Italian lady who lived next door to me when I first moved out of home in Melbourne. She would fry up artichoke hearts (stem included) in a little olive oil with garlic and toss through just cooked spaghetti. It was her comfort food. I’ve added a few extras to give the dish a little lift.
