Three ninety-degree days in a
row has me looking for something quick, easy, that will not heat up the kitchen
or weigh us down, yet satisfy that craving for pasta. Tonight my answer was on the table in less
than forty minutes in this unique and delicious dish; sour dough rolls and a
dry white wine, made it extra special and one I’m apt to repeat during
what looks to be a long, hot summer ahead.
Artichoke Spaghetti Sauce
2-3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
4 ounces cooked ham, diced
1 14-ounce can (not marinated)
artichoke hearts, drained and cut into eighths
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 pint whipping cream*
Ground dried basil, to taste
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated
nutmeg
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
cheese
Melt butter over medium heat in
a large skillet. Sauté onion and ham until onions are transparent. Add basil,
tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cream. Simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
Add nutmeg, and simmer an additional five minutes. Serve over spaghetti and top
with Parmesan. For a zestier taste, add a touch of pepper sauce.
*I used half cream and half milk.
