Recipe Friday:Linguine with Artichokes and Leeks

I made this one last night for dinner--so good!  It was really fast and came together easily.

Linguine with Artichokes and Leeks

Ingredients
1 lb dry linguine or fettuccine
2 medium leeks (white and light green parts only, rinsed)
2 12 oz jars artichoke hearts, packed in oil, drained
3 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
3 tsp salt (I only added 1 1/2)
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 C grated parmesan (omit to make this a plant-based meal)

Cook the past according to the package directions.  Meanwhile, half the leeks, rinse well and slice into 1/2 in pieces.  Saute the leeks in the olive oil over medium-low heat until they're tender, but not brown. Remove leeks from pan and set aside.  Roughly chop the artichoke hearts and add to the pan, sauté for about 3 minutes.  Return the leeks to the pan, add the remaining ingredients and toss with the pasta.  Serve warm.
