ARTICHOKES AND TUNA PASTA SAUCE (RACHAEL RAY)
Started with a Rachael Ray recipe that looked amazing but very high fat and calories! Gave it a much needed fat and calorie makeover and this is how it ended up. It isn't a diet dish but much healthier than the original. Hope you enjoy! For the FULL fat and calorie version please see http://rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/spaghetti-artichokes-and-tuna/ Please use the best quality canned tuna you can afford. It makes all the difference! Also remember to buy sustainable! :)

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add butter and olive oil. When melted add shallots and garlic, and stir 3 minutes. Add tuna and heat through breaking it down as small as you want it. I like large chunks.
- Add artichokes and thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add in vermouth or wine and chicken broth. Return to heat and reduce it a little just until it forms a nice sauce.
- Add lemon juice and zest to sauce. Add 1/2 cup starchy cooking water to sauce before draining pasta. Toss pasta with sauce. I like to remove from heat and let the pasta absorb some sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Serve topped with parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired. Original recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs on top,.

Steps:
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic to the pan. When garlic speaks by sizzling in oil, add tuna and mash into oil with the back of a wooden spoon. Let the tuna sit in the oil 5 to 10 minutes to infuse the fish flavor into the extra-virgin olive oil and to give the tuna time to break down -- it will almost melt into the extra-virgin olive oil. Raise the flame a bit and add the coarsely chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the tomatoes through, 2 minutes, then add hot, drained pasta that has been cooked to al dente. Add parsley to the tuna and pasta and toss to combine well and evenly coat pasta. Adjust seasonings. Top pasta with shredded basil and serve.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add the guanciale or bacon and cook until crisp. Add the onion, garlic and a little pepper and stir for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and stir. Add the stock and artichokes and heat through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.
- To serve, bring water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente, reserving 1 cup of the starchy water just before draining. Add the pasta to the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley and half the cheese and cook, tossing to combine and adding some of the starchy pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with more cheese on top.
- Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns and the herb bundle; season with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a low, rolling simmer. Simmer 60 to 75 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.
