Farfalle Con Carciofi is a pasta dish that features bowtie pasta and artichokes. The dish is typically made with a white sauce, but variations may include a tomato-based sauce or a cream-based sauce.
Place artichokes in a saucepan with the olive oil, oregano, water and a pinch or two of salt over medium-low heat. Cover and simmer till tender and the liquid has been reduced. Stir occasionally making sure sauce does not dry out.
Cook the pasta, remove when ready. Drain.
Place pasta in a warm bowl, and combine immediately with the artichoke sauce.
Send to table.
Hint: the sauce can be prepared ahead of time and reheated when ready for use. You might have to add a little of the pasta cooking liquid, as the artichokes will soak up the liquid they are sitting in.
