  • 4 artichokes
  • 300 g sausages (pork or turkey)

Steps

Pasta with Artichokes and Sausage

  • First, remove the casing from the sausages and crumble them into a pan with a little oil and an unpeeled garlic clove.

  • While the sausages are browning, clean the artichokes by removing the outer, tough leaves and the central fuzz with a knife, then cut them into medium-sized wedges.
    Gradually transfer the wedges into acidulated water with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

  • When you have finished cleaning the artichokes, remove them from the water and add them to the pan, removing the sausage first, stir and lightly salt.
    Sauté well until they are golden, remove the garlic clove, and deglaze with white wine. As soon as the alcohol evaporates, add the sausage and let it simmer over low heat, taste, and, if necessary, adjust the salt.

    Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.

  • In the meantime, boil the pasta in salted boiling water.
