I did not care for the artichokes. I didn't like the tangy taste. I have taken this basic recipe and came up with a great new recipe.one.
i LOVED this! i also used fat free 1/2 & 1/2 and it was still very creamy. i put chicken in mine too but think it would be just as tasty without it although i will definitely add more mushrooms next time. i also put in more artichokes than the recipe called for - and i didn't get the marinated ones instead the ones packed in water. they worked great! (i added a little bit of their water to the sauce)
After reading the reviews I decided to add a few things to this to make it a little more flavorful. First I added about 1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes and a bit more artichokes than it called for. Then I added some cut up chicken breast (2 pieces) - which I sauteed in garlic and olive oil. I used fresh thyme instead of dried and used about 1 tablespoon instead of what the recipe called for. I also tried using both portobello and shitake mushrooms - but the shitake were far better. Lastly instead of adding the parmesan when the dish was finished and on the plate I added a slice of goat cheese to the top. It's really rich and creamy melts slightly into the pasta and is soooooo good.
We really loved this. I did use capellini rather than linguini (my hubby's preference) and I didn't have half and half so used heavy cream instead (!). My chicken broth was my homemade broth using the carcass of Roast Sticky Chicken from this site so it had all that added flavor (but that's mostly what I use--never the canned stuff). Otherwise I followed the recipe. My hubby wants this again tomorrow. No problem with that! There are only the two of us and this makes a lot! But it was really delicious!
i wish i could give this one six stars! it was so delicious and quick & easy to make. didnt have half and half so used regular cream which while tasted great was probably a little too rich. and next time i'd probably want to add some sundried tomatoes for color.
Really quick and delicious. I used skim milk and cornstarch to cut down on the fat and it was still great!
I enjoyed this recipe with a few minor changes. I took the advice of cayanne pepper and sun dried tomatos to spice it up and for the cheese I used a pre-shredded mix of parm/romano/asiago. I think I might even try adding some broccoli to this.
For as much fat (cheese 1/2 and 1/2 butter) as this recipe has in it I thought it would be a lot creamier. The taste was good but I thought it was too soupy. If I make it again I will cut back significantly on all the liquids. I'll reserve the cheese toss the sauce with the noodles put them in a casserole dish top with the cheese and bake until it's melty and the liquid has thickened.
