Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 quarts water
3 tablespoons salt
1 pound small pasta shells
Salsa Cruda:
1 (6-ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup drained and rinsed capers
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans imported Italian tuna in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a 10-quart pot, bring the water to a brisk boil. Add salt and stir in the pasta shells. When the water returns to a boil, begin timing and cook al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse. Transfer the shells to a large serving bowl. Stir in the reserved pasta water to keep the pasta from sticking to itself. Pasta continues to cook and absorb water even when it has been drained. Add in the salsa cruda ingredients and toss. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.
  • Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes

I substituted canned artichoke hearts for fresh artichokes and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
