    Explore Cuisine Pasta

    In this post we are using healthy pasta made by Explore Cuisine. It's pasta packed with protein and fiber. It's non-gmo, gluten-free and vegan!! You can find out where to buy by licking on this link, or purchase it here on amazon! I choose to go for a mild pasta that would pair with the aromatic flavors of the sauce, I used the chickpea fusilli.

    TIPS for cooking gluten-free pasta:

    1. Always cook your pasta in a large stock pot with lots of water. This allows the pasta to cook evenly, not stick together and the starches to dilute. If you cook in too little water your pasta will end up with a gluey sticky texture.

    HOW MUCH WATER DO I COOK PASTA IN?

    For every 12oz of pasta you want to use about 4-6qts of water.

    2. When I showed this pasta online I got many comments telling me undercook the pasta by a minute or two. Since I will be throwing the noodles in another dish with hot sauce I undercooked the pasta. The directions said 9-12 minutes, I picked 8. It worked perfectly!
    3. I also rinse the pasta in cold water after to wash off the flim of starches leftover. viola! I had perfect al dente pasta ready to go.
    4. With any pasta always salt the water :) it helps give the noodles and nice flavor and bring out their natural flavors too.

    How to make Creamy Artichoke Pasta

    STEP 1: One of the tricks for this meal to whip up so fast is to have your pasta boiling while your making your sauce. So fill up your large stock pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.

    THE VEGETABLES

    STEP 2: While noodles are boiling start your sauce by preparing the ingredients. Slice the tomatoes, green onions, garlic and artichokes.

    STEP 3: In a skilled or large bottomed pan melt butter and sautéed green onions, garlic together for about 1 minute.

     STEP 4: Add in your artichoke and tomatoes. Since you are using fresh tomatoes you will want to allow the ingredients to cook slowly for about 3-5 minutes. This allows the acidity of the tomatoes to cook off and them to soften.* If you don't like or don't have fresh tomatoes you can use canned diced tomatoes too!
    DONT use marinated artichokes.

    THE SAUCE

    STEP 5: after the veggies and seasoning have cooked down a little you will can add the liquids to the sauce.

    PRO TIP:When I'm using chicken broth in a recipe that calls for less than a can or a carton of broth I like to just whip up a little broth using hot water and this better than bullion base. It's healthy and so full of flavor. Then I dont find myself trying to use leftover broth before it goes bad in my fridge.

    MIX TOGETHER

    Now toss your noodles with your sauce, add a heaping ½ cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Please don't skip this step and please splurge for the fresh kind. You won't regret it!
    PRO TIP: you can find freshly grated parmesan cheese in the specialty cheese section and its about the same price or less (for the same amount) as the processed parmesan cheese.
