Ingredients

1 lb. spaghetti
1/4 c. olive oil
6 clove garlic
1 red chili
1 package frozen artichoke hearts
kosher salt
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown and the chili is just tender, 1 minute more.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the toasted garlic and chili to a bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Season the artichokes with 1/4 tsp salt and cook, cut-side down, until golden brown. Stir in the lemon juice and thyme. Toss the pasta with the artichokes, garlic and chili.
