- 7 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 3/4 pound fusilli
- 1 1/4 cups canned, drained artichoke hearts (one 14-ounce can), rinsed and cut into 6 wedges each

- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Light the grill or heat the broiler.

- Grill or broil until just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes and then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fusilli until just done, about 13 minutes.
- Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, toss the pasta with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
