Here's a tasty use for canned artichoke hearts. I usually use artichoke heart as part of a salad, but paired with capers, it makes a great pasta dish--and using quick-cook Chinese flat noodles, this dish can be ready in about 10 minutes, including prep time.

When oil is hot, add onion and garlic and saute until onions begin to soften. Add artichoke hearts, capers and salt to taste and continue sauteing for 2-3 minutes. Occasionally I'll add the juice and zest of a lemon, which is a pretty tasty option, so definitely give it a try sometime. Add any remaining butter to the skillet. Add cooked pasta to the skillet. I like to use quick-cook Chinese flat noodles since it's easy to time with the cooking of the sauce, but use any kind of pasta you like, just allow enough time for cooking. And for a wetter sauce, add a little bit of the pasta water to the skillet. Mix pasta and sauce in skillet and then serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or thyme--or just add a few more capers. Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired. It's a quick, easy recipe and a great use of canned artichoke hearts. Enjoy!
