Mario Batali's Roman-Style Artichokes
From chef and author Mario Batali
Friday, March 16, 2007

Renowned chef and restaurateur Mario Batali has a recipe to get us in the mood for spring on Good Morning America.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 jalapenos, seeded and cut into thin slivers

Zest and juice of 3 lemons

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 1/4 pounds basic pasta dough, cut into fettuccine

1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano

Directions

Place the artichokes end side up in the smallest pot that holds them. Scatter the garlic and lemon slices around them, pushing them down around the artichokes, and then do the same with the mint. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the top. Add the olive oil, wine and water.

Cover the pan tightly and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the artichokes are just tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Place the onions and the lemon juice in a bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Strain out the lemon juice, add the zest and the reserved mint, and sprinkle over the artichokes.

Serve warm or at room temperature, with sprinkling of coarse sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Makes 6 servings.
