Herby Artichoke Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Prepare the Artichokes & Vegetables:
If using canned artichokes, drain and quarter them.
If using fresh artichokes, trim and steam them until tender, then quarter them.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly.
4. Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the artichokes. Toss to combine, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
Stir in the fresh thyme and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Serve the pasta topped with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
