- 10 ounces frozen artichoke hearts
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves sliced garlic
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt and black pepper
- 12 ounces linguini
- ½ pound diced pancetta
- 1½ cup Parmesan cheese
For the garnishes:
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Begin by roasting the artichokes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the frozen artichokes in a Dutch oven along with the oil, garlic, the thyme, lemon juice, bay leaf, and salt and pepper. Cover and bake for one hour. Remove the artichokes and puree half of them in the food processor along with the oil in the Dutch oven.
Meanwhile, boil the pasta in salted water. Also, cook the pancetta on low heat in a small pan until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
In a large skillet, on medium heat, add all the cooked artichokes, 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, the pancetta, and the pasta. Then, toss until combined. Top with the basil and the Parmesan.
