Instructions

  1. Boil pasta according to directions.
  2. In the meantime, melt the 1/4 cup of butter with the 1/4 cup of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir until smooth, about 3 minutes. Blend in the stock, stirring until thickened, about 1 minute.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add the garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Blend in the artichokes and the 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese.
  5. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 8 minutes.
  6. Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the remaining oil, cheese, and salt. Add linguine and toss lightly.
  7. Arrange pasta on a platter and pour sauce over all. (I usually just toss it all together.).
  8. Serve immediately. (It still tastes good as leftovers too.).
