Ingredients
- 4-5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3-4 artichokes (cleaned fresh or frozen quartered)
- ½ teaspoon oregano

- 3-4 cups pasta (small cooked)
Instructions
- In a large pan add the olive oil, garlic, artichokes, spices and water.
- Cook covered, stirring occasionally on low medium heat, until almost all the water evaporates and the artichokes are almost tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Add the chopped Italian sausage a little water and cook on medium heat stirring occasionally until cooked through and tender.
- While the sausage is cooking, boil the pasta until al dente.
- To the pan add the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup of pasta water, cook tossing on high heat for about 30 seconds. Serve immediately sprinkled with parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- I usually use short pasta when making this dish, but a long thicker pasta such as bucatini would also work well.
- For my pasta recipes I indicate cooked pasta. 1 cup (200 grams) of cooked pasta is approximately 1/2 cup (50 grams) of dry pasta.
