    Veggie pasta with artichokes and asparagus. If you know anyone that thinks veggies on their own have no flavour - THIS is the recipe you need to make for them!!

    If you know anyone who thinks that vegetables have no flavour, this is the recipe you need to make for them. This veggie pasta proves that you don't need a million ingredients to create a tasty recipe - it's flavoured with nothing but tons and tons of vegetables (not literally - don't worry, you don't need to go off and start a farm).

    Artichokes, asparagus, corn, tomatoes, and chives - all things that are at their absolute best in the spring and summer. If I'm being entirely honest, I actually used artichoke hearts from a jar, so the fact that they're seasonal is less relevant here, but my excuse is that jars of artichokes come with a beautiful fragrant oil, which is just perfect for adding a bit of gloss to the recipe. Together with the sweet cherry tomato juices and the toasted corn, the flavours in this veggie pasta are just irresistible.

    If you really do want to use fresh artichokes, you can, but you'll obviously need to prepare and cook them before you add them to the dish. I've actually never cooked with fresh artichokes (they're not all that common in the shops in the UK), so I can't really advise about how you should go about this, but it's always looked a bit fiddly for me, so you're probably best googling it! You'll also need to add a good glug of olive oil and perhaps some extra fresh herbs to recreate the flavour of the marinade. But really... I'd just go with the jarred stuff. Much tastier, and much less effort. In fact, this entire dish takes just 15 minutes to make!

    This veggie pasta recipe is vegan, by the way, so it's the perfect light and fresh meal for springtime. Use wholewheat pasta if you'd like to be even healthier. Or alternatively, slather it with cheese if you'd like to be a bit more indulgent...

    Ingredients

    • 250 g pasta
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 6 inch stalks asparagus trimmed and cut into 1 chunks
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 50 g sweetcorn kernels
    • 100 g cherry tomatoes halved
    • 3 in marinated artichoke hearts note: a lot of jars will contain quartered hearts, which case you'll need 12 pieces, cut into chunks
    • Salt
    • Black pepper
    • 2 tablespoon fresh chives chopped

    Instructions

    • Boil the pasta until al dente.
    • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the asparagus, garlic and corn. Cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat, then turn the heat down a little and add the tomatoes and artichokes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes, until the tomatoes have begun to break down and the vegetables are all fully heated through. Season to taste, and add the fresh chives.
    • When the pasta is ready, drain it, and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Mix to combine. If you think it needs it, add a tablespoon or so of the oil from the artichokes - mine was actually fine without this addition. Serve immediately.

    Nutritional information is approximate, and will depend on your exact ingredients. Please calculate your own nutritional values if you require accuracy for health reasons.

        Oh how strange, looks like some of my measurements must have been screwed up a bit when I changed to a new recipe card - the artichoke measurement looks odd too! I can't remember the exact quantities but it really doesn't matter in a recipe like this - just use however much you think looks right :) Maybe 6ish stalks?

      This is a favorite recipe of my wife and I. I will make this at least a couple times a month.

      This was delicious! I swapped in roasted red bell pepper for the artichokes, used an entire bunch of asparagus, and then topped it off with fresh lemon juice + more S&P when serving. SOOOO good!

      I cooked this for our tea today and served it with some grainy bread. We thought it was lovely and summer-y. Surprisingly quick to make too.

      You do excellent recipes, Becca. Quite a few of yours are household stables now. :)

      Oh MY Goodness!!!!!!! this pasta has won over my heart! I completely agree with you! In my opinion, vegetarian food can have SO MANY variations!!!!! The possibilities are simply endless and I love this particular veggie pairing! I love asparagus but never got the chance to try artichokes!!!!! M definitely getting a canned one we get at supermarkets and give this delicious pasta a try! <3

      Oh, this sounds soooo good. I love artichokes. I will buy a fresh one to cook and eat with lemon butter every once in awhile, it's one of my favorite treats. But if I'm using the artichokes for a recipe, I definitely just buy canned or jarred, it's so much easier.

      This recipie is very colourful and tasty looking. Would you believe I have never eaten asparagus or artichokes. In the good old days they were a luxury but are now within budget. I am looking forward to making your dish and trying new vegetables. Thank you for the recipie and as you said it is Vegan so shall share with Emma.
