Creamy Artichoke Pasta.

This creamy artichoke pasta dish is great for every day or special occasions. Dress it up a bit by adding sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms. For a vegan version, simply omit the cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups veggie broth
1/2 cup soy milk
juice from one lemon (approx. 2 tablespoons)
2 cans artichoke hearts, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, fresh
8-10 oz pasta

PREPARATION:

Cook pasta in large saucepan or pot. While the pasta is cooking, simmer the butter or margarine, flour and and broth in a small saucepan until it thickens, forming a roux, mixing well. If the mixture does not thicken, turn up the heat and add more flour. Add remaining ingredients, except for pasta, turn heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing flavors to blend and cheese to melt. Drain pasta when done cooking, toss with sauce and enjoy!
