INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the stems and the top 1/4" from each baby artichoke. Snap off the outer
green leaves. Trim all dark green from the bottom. Cut into quarters. Rub
cut surfaces with lemon half.
Heat oil in large covered skillet or sauce pan. Add quartered artichokes.
Saute, stirring often, until golden brown (about 7 minutes). Add onion and
garlic. Saute until soft (about 2 minutes). Add wine, allow to reduce
slightly (another 2 minutes, perhaps) and then stir in tomatoes, water and
thyme. Cover. Cook over low heat until very tender, 30 minutes.
Boil water for penne.
Remove cover from artichokes. Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
Cook, uncovered for five minutes to slightly thicken sauce. Shave parmesan.
Cook penne.
Drain penne, and toss with artichokes and minced parsley. Serve warm or at
room temperature, topped with shavings of parmesan cheese.
