Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound pasta linguine or spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed
  • 1 can artichokes 14 ounces
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper minced
  • 1 avocado peeled, chopped and mashed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta following the directions on the package.
  2. While it cooks, chop the artichokes, garlic, jalapeno, and avocado and mix them with the parsley, capers, corn, and oil in a big bowl. I mash some of the avocado and keep some chunky.
  3. When the pasta is done, drain it and toss it in the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. If the final dish seems dry, add a splash of this starchy water to create a silkier sauce.
  • I love to mash up some avocados to make a sauce that coats the pasta, leaving some chunky for texture. You can do it how you like; either mash it all or keep it all in chunks.
  • While linguine is my go-to, any medium to long pasta works well. Fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne are great alternatives.
  • We usually enjoy it hot off the stove, but it also makes a delicious cold pasta salad for summer picnics.
  • If artichokes aren't your thing, try roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes.
