Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta with plenty of salt (about 1 tablespoon) and stir. Cook until just shy of al dente, according to the package directions.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large deep skillet set over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, being careful not to burn, until the shallot is tender, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the artichokes, capers, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes and toss until the artichokes are well coated and slightly tender. Reduce the heat to low.

  4. 4

    Once the pasta is fully cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta and set aside.

  5. 5

    Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the pasta, salt, pepper, and lemon juice and toss to coat. Once the pasta begins to absorb the sauce, add 2/3 cup of the pasta water and gently toss again to combine. Add the parsley and toss once more.

  7. 7

    Divide the pasta among 4 plates and garnish with Parmigiano-Reggiano (if using) and additional parsley.
