Ingredients
- 8-9 minutes cooked penne pasta (al dente)
- Marinated artichokes
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- Canned tomatoes
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Chopped fresh chives
- Extra virgin olive oil (evo)
Step 1: Cook the Penne Pasta
Start by cooking the penne pasta in a pot of boiling water for 8 to 9 minutes until it reaches al dente texture.
Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Marinated Artichokes
Check the marinated artichokes for any tough outer skin.
If you find any, remove it to ensure a pleasant texture.
Next, using scissors, cut the marinated artichokes into smaller, bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients in a Mixing Bowl
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta, chopped artichokes, and 1/4 cup of cottage cheese.
The cottage cheese will add a creamy texture to the dish.
Step 4: Add Vegetables and Herbs
To enhance the flavors, add canned tomatoes to the mixture for sweetness and color.
Then, incorporate chopped fresh parsley and chives to give the dish vibrant green notes and freshness.
Step 5: Drizzle and Toss
Drizzle a swirl of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture, which will add richness and enhance the overall taste.
Toss all the ingredients together until they are well combined, ensuring the flavors meld together.
Step 6: Serve or Pack
Once everything is thoroughly mixed, serve the dish immediately while it’s fresh and tasty.
Alternatively, pack it up for a lunch option that is just as delicious when eaten cold.
