Bow Tie Pasta with Fresh Tomato and Artichoke Sauce….

  • 1 Lb Farfalle pasta (bow tie pasta)
  • 10 Small artichokes  ( have also used canned artichokes, then you don't have to do all the steps to prepare the artichokes)
  • 2 Lbs Fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 Cup white wine
  • 4 Cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbs Fresh garlic
  • Hot pepper
  • EV olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Grated Parm.  , or imported Pecorino Roman Cheese….

  • Clean the artichokes by removing the harder outer leaves, trim and unpeel the stem and cut  the top part of the leaves as they  have thorns. The remaining leaves should be pale green.
  • Wash and drain the artichokes well.
  • Cut each artichoke in four or six parts and keep them covered in fresh water or they will turn dark.
  • In a pan add 4 Tbs of EV olive oil and the garlic finely minced.
  • Saute` the garlic at high flame until it turns blonde. Add the artichokes and the wine.
  • Turn the artichokes several times and let the alcohol evaporate.
  • Chop the tomatoes in very small pieces and add them in the pan. Add half of the parsley.
  • Add salt and hot pepper as desired.
  • Cook at medium flame for 10 minutes and pour over Farfalle cooked al dente.
  • Top with grated cheese just before serving….
this makes a great meal for all my vegetarian family and friend!!!
