Artichoke Heart and Lemony Pea Pasta
| By : |
Artichokes are tricky veggies that always involve a lot of prep, but they are worth it for their buttery texture and mild flavor. This dish gets down to the heart of the matter, using the most edible and delicious part of the vegetable and combining it with fresh green peas and lots of garlic and lemon. If you’re confused about how to trim the artichokes, I highly suggest looking at some photos or a video online. It’s easier than it sounds.

Instructions
- PREPARE the artichokes: Fill a small bowl with cool water and the juice of
1 lemon . Start by snapping off all of the outer leaves until you’re just left with the inner yellow leaves. Trim the nubs left behind by the outer leaves with a paring knife. Trim off the bottom inch of the stem and peel off the exterior of the stem to reveal the yellow interior. Trim the remaining leaves off with a sharp knife so that they are flush with the base of the artichoke. Drop the trimmed artichoke in the lemon water and repeat with the other artichoke. - PLACE both prepared artichokes and their lemon water in your Instant Pot. Add enough water, if needed, so that the artichokes barely float. Add the juice of
1 lemon . Secure the lid. - COOK at high pressure for 10 minutes and use a quick release.
- MEANWHILE, cook the linguine in salted water according to the package directions and drain.
- ONCE the pressure has released, remove the artichokes and let them cool a bit. Clean the pot. Once the artichokes are cool enough to handle, remove any remaining leaves to expose the choke. Scoop all of the feathery and tough bits out and discard. Chop the remaining tender hearts.
- TURN on the Saute function. Once hot, add the oil followed by the garlic. Saute for 30 seconds and add peas and broth. Simmer for 2 minutes and turn off the Saute function. Add the artichokes, parmesan, zest, and juice of 1 lemon, parsley, and pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
- ADD the pasta and toss. Serve topped with more parmesan.

This recipe looks great but I can only see instructions through step 5. What comes next?
Well I know what to do with the artichoke… The rest is mostly guess work
What happens after Step 5?
This is super nice! The whole family lived it!
We have updated the recipe thank you for your feedback.
Nice
I must say again the whole family was impressed.
I found the lemon overpowering. I would cut down on the juice in the second to last step.
I also used zucchini noodles and it was still delicious.
So good

Love the mix of sour from the lemons and spice from the red pepper.
