Pasta with Artichokes, Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Capers

Let’s be real, pasta is the universal “I need something easy but delicious” meal. But sometimes, plain ol’ spaghetti needs a glow-up. This delightful recipe with artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers gives you that Mediterranean experience, without the need for a passport, a plane ticket, or the awkwardness of trying to pronounce “gyro” correctly.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 16 oz spaghetti

• 8.5 oz sun-dried tomatoes

• 4 tbsp capers

• 1 cup grated Parmesan

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 2 tbsp minced garlic (aka 5 cloves, or 10, no judgment)

• Dried oregano, salt & pepper to taste

How I made it:

1. Cook the Pasta: First, boil that spaghetti in salted water. Don’t forget to test it by dramatically tossing a noodle against the wall, it's the only way to be sure it’s done.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, chicken broth, and half of the Parmesan. For added flavor, throw in a tablespoon of the artichoke marinade oil. Your kitchen should smell UH-mazing.

3. Mix It Up: Drain the pasta and toss it into the skillet, letting it soak up all the Mediterranean goodness. Sprinkle it with oregano, salt, and pepper, then add the rest of the Parmesan. Give it a good stir until everything is coated in cheesy, garlicky glory.

4. Serve: Plate it up, snap a picture (for Instagram), and dig in.

This dish is for those who appreciate the finer things in life, like perfectly al dente pasta and the satisfying brininess of capers. It’s also for those who need a quick weeknight dinner but still want to feel like they’re dining on a sunny patio in Santorini. Enjoy, and remember, when in doubt, add more cheese.
