Instructions
- First, bring a pot of water to a boil at medium-high heat, prep your ingredients, dice the onion, mince the garlic, chop the fresh herbs, and grate the parmesan.
- Next, cook the farfalle pasta according to the packaging instructions until al dente.
- When the pasta is almost done cooking, melt 8 tablespoons of salted butter and cook the chopped onion in a large skillet, at medium heat. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then stir 1/8 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook for 1-2 more minutes, until almost translucent. Then stir in the minced garlic, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1 & 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Next, add the slightly chopped artichoke hearts, and 1/4 cup of the pasta water (saving 1/4 cup additional reserved pasta water for later if needed). Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the 6 ounces fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and if needed the 1/4 cup additional reserved pasta water.
- Once the spinach has wilted, use a large slotted spoon to transfer the al dente bowtie pasta into the buttery spinach artichoke sauce.
- Serve topped with fresh parmesan and fresh basil.
- Enjoy!
