Artichoke and Lemon Linguine

June 23, 2012 by epicureanvegan

Artichoke and Lemon Linguine -- Epicurean Vegan

While at the farmer’s market last weekend, I picked up some Artichoke Lemon pasta. You can order it at Pappardelle’s Pasta.

I threw together a dish with a light, creamy roux and some vegetables and it came out delicious—and fast too. Dinner was ready in less than 30 minutes. Keep in mind, you’ll have three different pots/pans going at the same time, but don’t be alarmed, it’s easy to make, especially if you have all of your ingredients chopped, sliced, and ready to go before hand.

INGREDIENTS:
8-oz Artichoke Lemon linguine
1-2 C fresh basil, chopped
4-5 large mushrooms, sliced
14-oz can artichoke hearts, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbs olive oil
2 Tbs vegan margarine
2 Tbs flour
1/2 C almond milk
Dash of salt, pepper, and nutmeg
1 Tbs lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic. Add the artichokes and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often. Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 5-7 minutes. I have found that this pasta tends to cook faster than commercial brands, so keep an eye on it. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook another 5 minutes.

While this is happening, get your roux going. Melt the vegan margarine in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute. Slowly pour in the almond milk and whisk it until smooth. It will thicken up pretty quickly.

Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and blend well. For the veggie mixture, once the mushrooms are tender, reduce the heat to low and stir in the basil.

Pesto Pizza with Artichokes and Sun-dried Tomatoes

August 27, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Pesto Pizza with Artichokes and Sun-dried Tomatoes -- Epicurean VeganThis is an easy pizza to make and will please even the non vegans–I guarantee. The recipe makes about 6 personal-sized pizzas so I tend to either refrigerate/freeze half the dough for another night, or make up all 6 pizzas for the next day’s lunch.

INGREDIENTS:
Dough:
2 C flour
1 C whole wheat flour
1 pkg quick-rise dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried rosemary
3/4 C hot tap water, divided
2 Tbs olive oil
The rest:
1-14oz can artichokes, chopped
6-oz jar sun-dried tomatoes, diced
8-oz vegan mozzarella, shredded
1-1/2 C pesto
Optional toppings: mushrooms, olives, spinach, roasted red peppers

DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, combine yeast with 1/4 C of the hot tap water; set aside.  In a large bowl, combine flours, salt, and rosemary. Add yeast and olive oil to the flour mixture and combine, adding the remaining 1/2 C of hot tap water. You may need a little more. Once ingredients are thoroughly combined, place in a large greased bowl and let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400. Punch the dough down and knead for 5 minutes. Divide into 6 sections; roll out each section and place on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Using a fork, stick each piece of dough several times. Bake for 4 minutes.

Spread each baked crust with a layer of pesto, then top with cheese, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bake 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
