Artichokes And Shells


I came up with this one night to satisfy both my husband's wish for an olive oil-based pasta dish, and my craving for artichokes. We really enjoyed this hot and also the next day for lunch as a cold pasta salad. Cooking times are approximate since i didn't keep track, but it is a fairly good guess. Everything should only be cooked until heated through and the sauce is thickened.

Steps


Cook pasta according to package instructions.
Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks , heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add garlic and onion and saute for about 1 minute.
Add olives , bell pepper , pepperoncini , and white wine and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add artichokes with their liquid and tomatoes , cook for another 3 minutes , or until liquid reduces.
Remove from heat.
Stir in pasta , herbs , salt , pepper , and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Top with feta cheese and serve.
