Ingredients


454 gm Pasta, gluten free, dry (fusilli, orecchiette or seashells or farfalle-shaped pasta))
1 can (13.5 oz) Artichoke hearts, canned (drained, can also use marinated or frozen and thawed)
1 cup Parsley, Italian, fresh
3/4 cup Walnuts
1 clove(s) Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Water, filtered

Instructions


1. Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt in it to a boil.

2. Add pasta shells and cook according to package directions.

3. Drain, rinse with cold water, and return to pot.

4. In a food processor, pulse artichoke hearts, parsley, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oil, and water until combined. Do not over process; leave a bit of texture to the sauce.

5. Toss pasta with sauce and season to taste.
