We are always looking for new recipes that will allow us to easily throw together a healthy dinner. One of moments that brings us so much joy is when we can fully utilize our pantry, and create a recipe that is nutritious and delicious. After a long day of work, we whipped up this quick recipe of Artichoke & Olive Pasta.
Quick & Easy Dinner Recipe
Using a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, add the olive oil, garlic and onion to a large pan and cook on medium high heat until onions begin to soften. Add the olives and artichokes, and 3 tbsp of the oil/marinade from the jarred artichokes, to the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Pour the wine into the pan and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid almost completely reduces.
Once the pasta is done, drain it and combine with the artichoke and olive mixture from the pan. Toss until fully combined and serve.
Optional Ingredients Ideas:
– sliced mushrooms
– veggie/meat alternative sausage crumbles
Topping Ideas:
– garbanzo beans (shown in image)
– fresh sprouts or microgreens (shown in image – www.Hamama.com)
I added garbanzo beans to my serving as well as our favorite Hamama microgreens! My daughter and I are loving our Hamama microgreens growing kit subscription. If you haven’t heard of Hamama, make sure to check them out and you’ll have fresh microgreens growing in your kitchen in 7-10 days. For our first order, we chose Organic Energizing Kale, Organic Healthy Broccoli and Organic Spicy Daikon Radish seed quilts. Our first growing adventure was the Energizing Kale and we all loved them! You can see from the recipe picture how we incorporated them into the Artichoke & Olive Pasta recipe.
