Desperation Pasta With Artichokes, Zucchini And Spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can anchovies, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded on a box grater
- 1/2 cup marinated artichokes, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup reserved artichoke liquid
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 cup baby spinach, choppped
- salt
- pepper
- romano cheese, grated
- 8 ounces dried pasta
- Start your pasta according to the package directions. (you will need to reserve 1/2 cup or so of pasta water near the end of cooking)
- In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the can of anchovies and stir, mashing the anchovies into a paste about 2 min. Add the tomato paste and garlic, stirring 30 sec. Add the zucchini, artichokes, olives, oregano, and the artichoke liquid, increase the heat to medium high, give it a stir then let it saute for a few minutes. It will reduce quite a bit and not really resemble a "sauce."
- When the pasta is nearly finished cooking. Add the spinach and stir in 1/2 cup or so of the pasta water into the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce and handful of grated romano or parmesan.
