This is so simple, it’s barely even a recipe, but delicious anyway, so why not? As long as you have some pasta, olive oil, garlic and some chili flakes around, you’re good to go! This was inspired by some recipe I stumbled upon a year ago, which I lost. Oops.

I used this recipe to try out the DeBoles Organic Artichoke Spaghetti, made with Jeruslem Artichoke Flour that a friend had raved to me about. I found it for 99 cents at a store called Deals and Steals near my former apartment in Northampton, MA. Delicious.
