Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen If you can't find frozen artichoke hearts, canned will work as well. Be sure to drain them and pat them dry before using to avoid adding excess liquid to the dish.

Ingredients

1 lb. spaghetti
1/4 c. olive oil
6 clove garlic
1 red chili
1 package frozen artichoke hearts
kosher salt
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. fresh thyme

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown and the chili is just tender, 1 minute more.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the toasted garlic and chili to a bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Season the artichokes with 1/4 tsp salt and cook, cut-side down, until golden brown. Stir in the lemon juice and thyme. Toss the pasta with the artichokes, garlic and chili.
