As you may have gathered, our family likes anything that's lemony and contains artichokes. I used a bag of frozen artichoke hearts and Trader Joe’s Lemon Pepper Pappardelle pasta.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Yields: 4 - 6 Servings
Ingredients
1 pound thin spaghetti
2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
2 cans artichoke hearts, quartered
½ cup chopped fresh spinach
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup lemons juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup white wine
4 Tablespoons butter
½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, shredded or more to taste
Salt and cracked black pepper
Directions
1Cook the pasta while you are making the sauce.
2Sauté the shallot and garlic in the olive oil just until it is transparent, don't allow to brown.
3Add the cream and the wine and simmer, uncovered to reduce by half.
4Whisk in the butter a little at a time.
5Add the chicken, artichokes, and spinach and simmer for about 2 minutes or just until the spinach wilts but still has texture.
6Add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon zest from the lemon and stir. Taste for flavor and add salt and pepper as needed.
7If the sauce is too thick add a little cream, if it is too thin simmer a little longer.
8Spoon over hot, cooked pasta. Sprinkle each serving with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
