Serving Size: 4
NOTES : I used two 9 oz. boxes frozen artichoke hearts. You can add chopped onion to the saute.
Variation: Remove sauteed artichokes & garlic from skillet.
Saute 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cubed, with salt
& pepper, butter, & white wine. Then add artichoke mixture, pasta
& pasta water.
You could use shrimp or crabmeat instead of chicken.
