I first made this recipe with my younger sister, back when I was vegetarian and lived in Little Havana, Florida. I remember us coming up with this recipe in my tiny hot kitchen. Not wanting to turn on the oven in the middle of summer in south Florida, we opted for a simple pasta dish with ingredients I already had at home.
Since I've always enjoyed a good cheese board and tapas, I typically almost always had a jar of sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Before even tasting this recipe, I knew I would love it. It has all the flavors I enjoy. The sweet sun-dried tomatoes, earthy artichoke hearts, and citrus from the lemon juice makes this such a flavorful dish that's sure to impress. Plus, with easy store bought ingredients and a little prep, this recipe comes together in just 20 minutes!

Storage and Reheating:
- Just like any other left over pasta, it will always be a little more dry the next day. To reheat add a splash of water.
- Personally I can eat this cold the next day. Add a little more lemon juice and it turns into a delicious cold pasta salad dish for lunch the next day.
