Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook until soft but not browned, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Remove the leeks; set aside.
  3. Add the artichokes to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Return the leeks to the skillet and toss with the artichokes. Stir in the lemon juice, 3 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  5. Add the vegetables to the pasta and toss with half the Parmesan. Add some reserved cooking water to moisten, if necessary.
  6. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
