Spaghetti with Artichokes & Lemon-Thyme Garlic Oil

Ingredients

• 1 lb. spaghetti
• ¼ c. olive oil
• 6 clove garlic
• 1 red chili
• 1 package frozen artichoke hearts
• kosher salt
• 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. fresh thyme

Directions

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
2. 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.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the toasted garlic and chili to a bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high. Season the artichokes with ¼ 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.
