Fiesole Artichokes and Pasta

June 12, 2014 by Judy Lyness 5 Comments

Fiesole artichokesTo say that I’ve been obsessed with artichokes would be an under statement.  Green, sangria, and these delightful baby fiesoles have been cooked and consumed this month.

I found sometimes the simplest is the best, like the combination of artichokes, pasta and a tart and tangy ginger lime buerre blanc it becomes a ménage et tois made in heaven.

The preparation is easy.

Fiesole Aartichokes with Pasta and Lime Ginger Buerre Blanc 

  • 12 or so fiesole artichokes
  • 4 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 1/2 pound of your favorite pasta I used linguine
  • 1 slick butter
  • 5 limes juiced and zested
  • 1 inch piece of ginger
  1. Place a pot with salted water on stove to cook your favorite pasta.  I used linguine.
  2. Trim down baby artichokes and quarter.  Toss in a pan with water, salt and garlic. Simmer until tender.
  3. While the artichokes and pasta cook make your buerre blanc.
  4. In a non-reactive pan squeeze 5 limes, grate a one inch piece of ginger, a small shallot and a splash of white wine.  Place on stove and simmer on low until the liquid is reduced by 75%.  Remove from heat and whisk in 1 stick of butter that has been cubed one piece at a time.  Add salt, you’ll be surprised at the amount you’ll need, or at least I am, but alas I’m a classic under salter. When  you’re finished you should have a “creamy” buerre blanc.
  5. Strain pasta and place in large bowl.  Strain artichokes and add to pasta.  Pour buerre blanc over and toss. llinguine with artichokes

      I bought these at my local farmer’s market in LA. You could check out Melissa’s Produce to see if they sell them.
