Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 onion -- peeled and minced
1 garlic clove -- peeled and minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
14 ounces tomatoes -- (1 can) drained and chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 small dried red chile pepper -- crushed and seeded, if desired
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
10 1/2 ounces artichoke hearts -- (1 can), drained and cut into strips
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people -- as a starter
grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Gently saute onion and garlic in the olive oil 3-4 minutes until soft. Do not allow the mixture to turn brown.

Add tomatoes, oregano, chile pepper, alt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Add artichoke harts and parsley, heat through and spoon over the pasta. Serve with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

This recipe is a great standby if you have unexpected guests. All you have to do is raid the pantry! Chunky strips of artichoke add interesting texture to the basic tomato sauce and the chile adds a touch of heat. It goes very well with most kinds of short tubular pasta.

This quantity will serve 4 people as a starter, so double up if it is to be the main course or if you want to keep half in the refrigerator to make a cold pasta salad later in the week. It also freezes well.
