Saushroomichoke Pasta
I had the idea that marinated artichoke hearts would be a good way to amp up a pasta dish, and threw together this dinner. As my boyfriend wolfed it down, I asked him if it should be a Guessipe. He managed to pause between bites long enough to blurt out “Definitely! What are you going…
