I love pasta. You probably love pasta. It's the food of life. If I had to eat one food for the remainder of my life I'd be looking past pizza and potatoes and searching for the glorious pasta. I have so many pasta recipes in my repertoire, it's almost silly. In the Kristin Hannah book 'Summers Island' the characters make a similar recipe to this one, I merely adapted it to suit my pallet.
I N G R E D I E N T S
- Spaghetti (guess the amount you need, if using 1/2 standard sized pack it makes roughly 3-4 portions)
- 1 can artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 can diced tomatoes (low sodium is preferable)
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 3 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon red wine (optional)
- Bring a pot of water to the boil.
- In a deep pan, heat up a tablespoon of oil and cook your onion and garlic together until translucent.
- Add a splash of red wine, your herbs&spices, and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in your can of tomatoes and stock. Bring to a boil.
- Add in your (chopped and drained) artichoke hearts and capers, lower the heat and continue cooking for roughly 15 minutes. The sauce ought to thicken as it shimmers.
- As your sauce thickens, cook your spaghetti to your own personal liking.
- Once both are done, drain the spaghetti making sure not to rinse.
- Combine pasta with sauce and mix well.
- Sprinkle with either Parmesan or nutritional yeast. Enjoy!
