This great Penne Pasta dish is a sure fire hit with the whole family. The colors and the texture in the dish make it very appealing and inviting.

Very nice recipe, thanks a lot. I have a doubt though, why artichokes in oil, can’t we use the fresh ones? I have never used artichokes in my cooking so I have no idea of how to cook it and how it will taste. I would definitely try this recipe this weekend. Thanks once again for your wonderful job.
Love

Hi Subha,
Fresh artichokes are a bit tricky to cook and it’s difficult to remove the hearts. The ones in oil are really convenient and the taste is very good.

Hi Parul,
Both Sundried Tomatoes and Artichokes are available at most grocery stores (in the US). You can find them with or without oil, but for our recipe, the ones with the oil work best. Costco carries them in big jars.

This recipe sounds very similar to the way I make it. I also add cubed roasted eggplant and slightly cooked mushrooms in mine. I saute all the veggies first separately and put it aside in a bowl. Once the pasta is al dente, I add it to the pan used for sauteing veggies and mix the sauted veggies together.
However before I start cooking the veggies, I toast the pine nuts and fennel seeds first (no oil) and add it to the finished dish and mix.

Hi Jayashree,
You can find sun dried tomatoes at your local grocery store (even Walmart carries it). They usually come in a jar. Artichokes are also available at most grocery stores. You’ll find them either in jars or cans. They come stored in water or oil. The oil one works best for this recipe.

Thank you so much. I tried this recipe last night and it was an instant hit, my husband never liked the noodles or pasta before but he liked this one a lot. Now I don’t need to make 2 separate dishes for my husband and kids.
Love

Hi Alka,
You can cook (boil) pasta in a regular steel pot. You don’t need to cover it while it’s cooking.

Hi Shailee,
I make white sauce using following recipe….. My husband loves my version of pasta with this sauce.
2 tbsp maida
2 tbsp butter
1 cup milk
Heat butter to pan till its melted. add maida and stir until butter and flour are combined. gradually pour in milk while stirring constantly. Add in Oregano powder, basil powder, black pepper, and salt according to taste. Stop when it’s your desired consistency.
Note: I never use measuring while making this sauce, just add by looking at consistency. so, i got the original measurements from the net.
Hetal and Anuja,
I have never tried different version of pasta, but yours looks exciting. may give it a shot soon. thanks

Hi ladies,
Was wondering how much is a cup that you guys use? I know a lot of your recipes use this american measurement, but in the UK we tend to use lbs, ozs or grams so would love to know the english equivalent. There’s a lot of variation in different books etc…..
Love your stuff

Hi Parul,
We use a standard US cup which is 8 fluid ounces. We tend to use this form of measure (in volume) because most people do not have a weighing scale at home.
