Spaghetti with Tomatoes & Artichokes {Recipe}

This post is brought to you by Carbonell. All opinions are my own.

Recently Carbonell asked me to create a BOLD and VIBRANT recipe using their Spanish olive oil and the timing couldn't have been more perfect— with the holidays here, I've been making meals that are a lot more heartier (family favorites) and I've been craving something light and flavorful.

When I was in Italy this past summer one of my most memorable meals was a simple plate of spaghetti tossed with olive oil and Parmesan cheese in Taormina, Sicily. It blew me away that a dish so basic could taste that incredible.

It was that dish that inspired my new recipe with Carbonell Olive Oil. Yes, Carbonell is Spanish and the recipe I created is Italian— but the BOLD flavor of Carbonell pairs well just about any dish, especially ones where you actually want to TASTE the olive oil.

While this recipe for Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Artichokes is simple, it's a little daring because you're relying on the flavor of the olive oil to carry the pasta, rather than a robust sauce. The addition of red pepper flakes gives the dish the perfect KICK of flavor.

Spaghetti with Tomatoes & Artichokes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) package spaghetti
  • ½ cup Carbonell Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
  • 8oz can peeled plum tomatoes; chopped & sprinkled with salt
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese; shredded
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper to taste
  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add a pinch or two of salt and then add pasta and cook until al dente— approx 8-11 minutes. Drain pasta in a colander without rinsing.
  2. Return pasta to pot, setting stove to medium-low heat. Add ½ cup Carbonell Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic, plum tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Gently stir until combined and heated.
  3. When ready to serve, toss in shredded Parmesan cheese, salt and red pepper flakes (or a few sprinkles of Cayenne pepper).
