Quick Artichoke Pasta

Begin by filling a large container with salted water and placing it on the stovetop to reach its boiling point. Next, add your chosen pasta shape and cook it in the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together, until they reach your desired level of doneness - still slightly firm in the center but not hard as rock, typically taking between 8 to 10 minutes.

Simultaneously, heat a small amount of butter and oil in a medium-sized frying pan over the middle heat setting until the butter has completely melted. Then, add your artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and chopped basil to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly until everything is well combined and heated through.

Once your pasta has finished cooking, remove it from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and drain off any excess water. Then, add the cooked pasta to the pan with the artichoke mixture and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
