How to Make Pasta with Artichokes and Goat Cheese

I love that the sauce for this easy pasta can be made in the time it takes for pasta to cook. This is the ultimate quick and easy dinner.

While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a skillet. Add onions and red pepper flakes then cook until softened and sweet. In goes frozen peas and artichokes.

When the vegetables are warmed through, stir in a little heavy cream and goat cheese. Toss with the pasta and serve with lemon zest and fresh arugula to brighten the pastaup.

  Great recipe. I increased the amount of artichoke and the cream. Arugula is not available here so omitted that and the lemon zest( my son doesn’t like the flavour). I had also increased the amount of pepper flakes( we are Asians). It was sooo tasty . It was a bit rich for adults but for children it was OK. My son doesn’t like vegetables so I try to find tasty vegetable recipes Thank you very much.

  This sounds delicious! Do you think this would still work if served chilled or room temp? (I would like to serve at a summer lunch buffet) Would I need to substitute the heavy cream? Sorry, not much of an experienced cook, but love to try new things!

  This looks divine! Unfortunately, my husband is not an arugula fan. Can you suggest any substitutions for the arugula?

  Oh My! This looks so light and delicious. I love pasta, but hate the heavy cream sauces. The added color from the peas and arugula make for great presentation.
