Rigatoni ai Carciofi Ingredients

• 7 cups Rigatoni
• 2 tbsp salted butter
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, drained, pitted, and halved
• 6 artichoke hearts in oil, drained and quartered
• 1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp dry white wine
• 1/2 orange, (zest) finely grated
• salt and pepper to taste

Rigatoni ai Carciofi Preparation

• In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter with the oil.
• Once hot, add the garlic, rosemary, olives, and artichokes and sauté over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
• Pour in the wine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
• Add the orange zest, season with salt and pepper, and mix everything together. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and add to the pan with the artichoke mixture.
• Return the pan to high heat and mix everything together for 30 seconds to allow the sauce to coat the pasta evenly and serve immediately.
