Artichokes are new to me and I was clueless when they landed in my bountiful basket sometime back. After looking through countless sites on how to cook an artichoke I gave it a try and ended with beautiful and tasty artichoke hearts. If you do not want to deal with cooking the artichoke, etc., you can buy the artichoke hearts from the grocery store. They come canned or in the freezer section. 
The artichoke hearts were tossed with pasta and vegetables for a light dinner. They were creamy and tasty and went well with the pasta. Off to the recipe.
