Tips:
- Use fresh artichokes whenever possible, as they have a more delicate flavor and texture than canned or frozen artichokes.
- If you're using canned or frozen artichokes, be sure to rinse them well and drain them thoroughly before using.
- You can use any type of pasta for this dish, but short, stubby pastas like penne or rotini work best.

- Use a good quality olive oil for this dish, as it will add flavor and richness.
