Main Ingredients:

4 artichoke hearts, thinly sliced, more if you really like artichoke
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped fine
1 tsp saffron
8 oz soft ricotta
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1/2 tsp salt, to taste
black pepper
12 oz (3/4 package) tagliatelle or fettucine; or make fresh


Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

SET the pasta water to boil.

IN a frying pan that has a cover, gently sauté garlic and artichoke hearts in 2 TBSP olive oil until garlic is a light gold.
