This is a really good dish. We used a whole box of pasta, 6 garlic cloves, a 14 oz. jar of artichokes, calamata olives and then topped it with parmesan cheese. Great recipe!

This was delicious and so simple. I doubled the recipe using a 14 oz can of artichoke hearts. The only other thing I changed was to season it with salt and pepper after combining the pasta and sauce. I will definitely make this again.

We do liked this recipe. I love garlic, artichokes and basil so this was perfect for me. (I used egg noddles insted of shell pasa)

This was great. I think I will add asparagus next time to make it even better. I did use less butter and more olive oil to make it healthier.

Yum! I thought it was better with more basil and more garlic though.

This was ok, once you know this recipe it can be done with anything, weather it be bacon or mushrooms. good base recipe for others. Will make some form of it again.

VERY VERY YUMMY!! My 2 & 5 year old children ate it right up but my husband and I felt it was a little too oily. This will not keep me from making this dish again and agin. I will reduce the amount of olive oil next time and I will also add more garlic. I also added parm cheese. I served it with Italian Style Orange Roughy from this site and we all pushed back from the dinner table very happy and very full.

Very good! I added some mushrooms, shrimp and about 1/2 cup of white white. I'll be making this again!

I only used half of the amounts of olive oil and butter to cut back on the fat and still found it to be enough. I also added sun-dried tomatoes for color and sprinkled with pecorino romano cheese. Very tasty and quick--will definitely make again!

This dish tasted excellent. I think the proportions of sauce to pasta may be slightly off, but I plan on making it again and my husband really loved it too.

I made this last night & my husband & I both really enjoyed it. 4 oz didn't seem like enough to serve 2 people so I doubled the recipe & it was the perfect amount. I also added chicken & sprinkled some fresh parmesan over the top before serving. It turned out really good!

My husband and I have been making variations on this recipe whenever we need something quick and easy. We use more olive oil, less butter, more artichokes and cook it longer until the artichokes brown lightly - more flavor. Also we add what's on hand which could be mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes or left-over cooked chicken. We like pine nuts sprinkled on top at the end. Surprisingly we've never added basil, but now I will try that.
