Ingredients

• Linguine - 160 grams
• Canned artichoke hearts - 200 grams, drained and chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 250 milliliters
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the chopped artichoke hearts to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Allow to cook for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
5. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
