Notes
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 added which ever vegetables you like to this dish. I would try green beans, spinach, chard, asparagus, eggplant, carrots, or Brussel sprouts.For an even more filling dish I would add some grilled chicken, pork, or shrimp to this dish. Grill up the meat separately and mix it into the dish when you add the pasta.
