Artichoke Pasta
Yum. Oh, yum. This artichoke pasta is slightly different than the original, but it’s good both ways. I think we have decided we prefer it with the heavy cream. We are working on making up a different recipe that calls for heavy cream so a lot of our dishes have cream lately. But seriously, this was delicious. I wonder what it is about pasta that just makes us feel so comforted to eat it? I don’t have any Italian in me. I wish I did. That culture seems just awesome to me. They eat well and love their family and friends. What more could you want?
Maybe I’ll just go ahead and pretend that I’m Italian. It would certainly look obvious that I’m not, but that’s ok with me! Are any of you Italian and does your family have any awesome creamy pasta recipes?
