Invent Your Recipe:
This pasta with artichokes and peppers is the fourth version of our Pasta with Peppers series of recipes. In our other versions we have used onions and zucchini in the dishes. Pasta is really versatile, so I would recommend adding whichever vegetables you like to this dish. I would try green beans, spinach, chard, asparagus, eggplant, carrots, or Brussel sprouts, to name a few.
There are many combinations of ingredients you can choose to make your variation of this dish.
In this dish I am using green bell peppers, however, I also recommend marinated or roasted red peppers, which would make for a nice pasta with artichokes and roasted red peppers recipe. You can leave out the peppers altogether, add spaghetti, and have yourself a spaghetti with artichokes recipe.
For an even more filling dish I would add some chicken. Add some red peppers as well for a chicken roasted red pepper artichoke pasta.
