Summer Pasta, an idea from Heather

Here's a great thing to do with jarred artichokes (this is non-dairy if you skip the cheese):
- cook some ziti & keep it warm
- in a saute pan coated with olive oil, throw jarred artichokes (I use the marinated ones) & kalamata olives; after a couple of minutes add halved grape or cherry tomatoes & saute until the tomatoes are throroughly hot.... I like to let them get just a tiny bit mushy & saucy
- put the pasta in a large bowl & add some basil & fresh grated parmesan cheese, then stir in the sauteed vegetables.
This is the best summer pasta I've ever had. I usually make some corn on the cob on the side.
