PENNE WITH TOMATOES, ARTICHOKES AND MUSHROOMS



Penne With Tomatoes, Artichokes and Mushrooms image

Yep, this is one of those, gee, no idea what I'm making let me see what's in the pantry meals:-). I love the combination of mushrooms, artichokes and tomatoes plus the buttery taste of fresh rosemary. Make sure you use a high quality pasta to stand up to this assertive sauce. I love this with a side of steamed cauliflower with garlic breadcrumbs. You could also easily add chicken, sausage, or another protein instead of the chickpeas.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces oil-marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Cooked penne pasta (from 12-ounce box)

Steps:

  • 1. Drain the artichokes, reserving the oil, and halve them lengthwise.
  • 2. Place 3 tablespoons of the artichoke oil marinade in a heavy pot. Add the onions and stir over low heat for 10 minutes, adding the garlic during the last 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
  • 3. Add the reserved artichoke hearts with the remaining oil marinade and stir while simmering for 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and adjust the seasonings. Serve in shallow bowls over cooked penne.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your sauce is packed with flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you press them gently.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in pesto, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for making a flavorful pesto. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use half the amount since it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Penne pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.

Conclusion:

This penne with tomatoes, pesto, and artichokes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet tomatoes, flavorful pesto, and briny artichokes is sure to please everyone at the table.
