Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

12 ounces linguine

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts in water, drained and quartered, or 1 package (10 ounces) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and quartered

1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh parsley

Preparation

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. Add butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and 1/4 cup pasta water; toss to combine.

Add artichokes, tomatoes, parsley, and, if necessary, enough remaining pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta; season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, and serve immediately.
