Ingredients
- 150g dried pasta (such as elicoidali rigati)
- 1 tsp Essential Olive Oil
- 175g pack smoky chargrilled artichokes in a herb dressing
- 15g unsalted butter
- ½ unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
- 25g Pecorino Romano, finely grated, plus extra to serve
- ¼ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
Method
Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water according to pack instructions.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the artichokes and dressing. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate.
Add the butter and lemon zest to the hot pan, cook for 30 seconds more, then add 3-4 tbsp pasta cooking water.
Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan with the cheese and ½ the lemon juice. Stir vigorously until the pasta is evenly coated. Check the seasoning, adding more lemon juice if needed. Stir in the crispy artichokes and serve with a little extra cheese and a good grind of black pepper. Scatter over the parsley to serve.
Cook’s tip
This is inspired by the classic pasta dish cacio e pepe with the addition of artichokes and lemon. If liked, try adding some pancetta to the pan when frying the artichokes.
