Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert

Ingredients

• 300 grams of artichoke hearts
• 2 peaches (approximately 400 grams)
• 120 grams of marionberries
• 200 grams of pasta (spaghetti or your choice)
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

Method

• Begin by preparing the pasta. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, rinse and chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
• Slice the peaches into thin wedges and set aside.
• In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook until they are golden and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
• Add the sliced peaches to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
• Add the marionberries to the pan, and gently combine with the artichokes and peaches.
• Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the artichoke and fruit mixture. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar and gently toss to combine.
• Serve the dish warm, with an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Tips

• For a more robust flavor, use extra-virgin olive oil.
• Ensure the pasta is cooked al dente for the best texture.
• Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
