  • 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano leaves Salt and freshly grnd black pepper
  • 1 lb fettuccine Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

  1. Squeeze lemon halves into a large bowl of cool water and add in lemon to bowl.
  2. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, bend back and snap off tough outer leaves.
  3. With a sharp knife, slice off dark green pointed tip of artichoke. Trim end of stem and use a vegetable peeler to peel outer layer of stem. Use peeler to remove any dark green leaf bases which may surround top of stem. Quarter artichoke lengthwise, leaving a small part of stem attached to each piece. Slide a small, sharp knife under the fuzzy choke and cut toward leaf tips to remove.
  4. Slice cleaned quarters into 1/4 inch-thick wedges and drop into bowl of cool lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Set aside.

Cook 1 to 2 min, stirring, till garlic is golden brown and artichokes are well coated with oil. Add in 1 c. water, cover and simmer till most of liquid has evaporated.
  6. Add in tomatoes and their juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, till artichokes are tender, 30-40 min. Adjust seasonings.
  7. When sauce is nearly done, bring 4 qts water to a boil in a large pot. Add in salt to taste; then add in fettuccine. Cook till al dente and drain.
  8. Toss fettuccine with artichoke sauce and mix well. Divide among individual bowls and serve immediately with grated cheese.
