Vegetarian Pasta with Artichoke Hearts and Soy Chorizo image

This is a creamy pasta that's not too heavy, featuring artichoke hearts plus a hint of heat from spicy soy chorizo and jalapeno. This goes great with a spinach or dark green salad with Kalamata olives.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (1 pound) package whole grain penne pasta
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts - drained and chopped, with marinade reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sliced onion
3 ounces soy chorizo (such as Trader Joe's®), or more to taste, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour 1/4 cup artichoke marinade into a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add artichoke hearts, soy chorizo, jalapeno pepper, and basil. Cook 5 minutes more and remove from heat. Stir in sour cream, yogurt, mozzarella cheese, and cayenne pepper.
  • Drain cooked penne and toss immediately with the warm sauce in the skillet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and serve.
