Angel Hair Pasta with Tomatoes and Artichokes


This is such a delicious pasta dish. I love it because it's not too heavy if you're in the mood for something light, and it is super easy to whip up in a hurry. All you need is about 5 ingredients and you're good to go.

You need 1 box of angel hair pasta, a can of diced tomatoes, 1 diced onion, one jar of artichokes in water, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, a pinch of sugar, your favorite shredded cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

Cook pasta according to package directions while browning onions in a pan with a touch of oil and the garlic. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Add artichokes and cook for an additional 2-3 min. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes. I added a pinch of sugar to sweeten it a bit and a dash of salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and toss with cooked pasta. Top with shredded cheese and basil, if desired.

Bon a petit!
