Instructions

For the breadcrumbs

  1. Mix together all of the breadcrumb ingredients and toast in a large pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes or until golden but not burned. Set the toasted breadcrumbs aside.

For the pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the linguine until 1 minute less than al dente.
  2. Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil and garlic. Saute until golden (about 2-3 minutes) then add the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
  3. Next, add the wine to the pan and turn the heat to high. Boil for 2 minutes then add the artichoke hearts and turn the heat down to a moderate simmer.
  4. Add 1 cup of pasta water to the pan along with the linguine. Toss to coat and emulsify the sauce. Cook the pasta until it just reaches al dente.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, parsley, lemon juice, zest, and a 1/2 cup of the toasted breadcrumbs. Toss once more. Taste test and season well with salt and pepper. If the pasta is at all dry, add more of the reserved pasta water, a bit at a time, to loosen it up.
  6. Serve with the remaining breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Always reserve pasta water. If the pasta dries out before serving, just add a few ounces of the pasta water to bring the consistency right back to perfect.
  • The extra breadcrumbs should be divided into each plate.  This will really give the stuffed artichoke taste to this pasta recipe.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
