Canned artichokes add subtlety and flavor to this meal. We like the Whole Foods 365 brand because the artichokes don't come out too salty when roasted.

Categories     Pasta     Vegetable

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound package pasta
6 artichokes
1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves of garlic, minced and divided
3 tbs unsalted butter
1 bulb fennel, sliced into 2 inch pieces
2 cups cherry tomatoes
½ cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes
½ cup kalamata black olives
½ cup white wine
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
¼ cup fresh parsley
Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 425. Remove top 1/3 of each artichoke. Rub with lemon to prevent any discoloration. Remove outer tough leaves, and the fuzzy inside choke with a pairing knife. Peel and slice off stem, and set aside. Place artichoke on top of piece of heavy duty foil, large enough to hold 2 artichokes along with their stems sealed tightly as a packet. Pull open each artichoke and insert ½ tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with ½ the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Then, drizzle with lemon, olive oil. Tightly enclose 2 artichokes to each foil packets, so that there are three packets all together. Double wrap them so that there is no leakage in the oven. Put each packet on the top oven self and allow it to roast for 30 minutes. Toss the fennel in a bowl with salt and pepper. Lay them onto a rimmed sheet pan and roast on the middle shelf for 20 minutes. Do the same with the cherry tomatoes and place in a pie dish on the middle shelf next to the fennel for 20 minutes. Bring a pot of salted pasta water to a boil. When the artichokes come out of the oven, open the packets allowing them to cool faster. When cool enough to handle, remove the leaves and stems and set them aside for another use. Cut up the hearts into 1 inch pieces and place them inside any remaining juice from the foil packets. Bring a 12" sauté pan to medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the minced garlic and when it begins to color, add the wine. Allow the wine to reduce slightly before adding the stock. Add the stock, both tomatoes, olives, fennel, and artichokes with any remaining juice. Adjust for salt and pepper. Squeeze in any remaining lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer on medium low for 15 minutes. 10 minutes before serving, add the pasta to the water and cook until al dente. Save about a ½ cup of pasta water just in case. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Add parsley. Add some of the pasta water if needed. Serve it with freshly grated cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh vegetables: Look for fennel bulbs that are firm and white, with no blemishes. Artichokes should be heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the vegetables properly: Cut off the tough outer leaves of the fennel and remove the core. Trim the artichoke hearts, removing the tough outer leaves and the fuzzy choke.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a delicious roasted flavor.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to season the vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted fennel and artichoke hearts are best served immediately, while they are still warm and tender.
