Ingredients
- 8 ounces linguine pappardelle, or other long pasta, reserve ½ cup pasta water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup white wine
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts drained and coarsely chopped

Instructions
- Add pasta to a large pot of salted water. Cook according to package directions. Drain well, reserving ½ cup pasta water, do not rinse.
- Meanwhile, in a 12" skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and add garlic, cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add white wine, broth, and lemon juice, then simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in artichokes, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 teaspoons cold water and add to the skillet. Simmer 1 minute more.

Notes
- This makes 4 generous side dish portions or 4 smaller main dish portions and is great served with grilled shrimp or chicken.
- Ensure you are using a large 12-inch skillet for the sauce mixture to thicken properly. A smaller skillet won't reduce the same.
- Ensure the artichokes are marinated in oil for the best flavor. If using water-packed (canned) artichokes, they aren't seasoned so add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- If the sauce is too thin, mix equal parts cornstarch and water (or broth) and add a little bit at a time into the simmering sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add additional pasta water.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
