1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/4-1/2 cup reserved pasta water
1/4 cup white wine
1 tbl flour
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
3 tbl capers
The juice of one lemon
12 oz marinated artichoke hearts, drained
8 oz linguine

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
-
Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil and cook linguine until al dente, about 8 minutes. Before draining, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
-
While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the shallots and cook until almost translucent. Add the garlic and cook about a minute, making sure not to burn. Add the artichokes and flour and mix well with the fat, adding more if needed. Cook for one minute.
-
Deglaze the pan with white wine, using a whisk if necessary to incorporate the liquid into the flour mix until there are no lumps. Add broth and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Add the lemon juice and capers and continue to simmer. Season as needed with salt and pepper
-
Toss the linguine with sauce, adding pasta water as you’re tossing over heat until sauce thickens a bit. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
