- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup dry white wine

My family and I love this recipe! I cooked it without artichokes, thinking my husband and young daughters wouldn't like...boy was I wrong! They all loved it. I called my sister to brag that I have young children with mature palates! Making again tonight, right after I post!

Wife and I made tonight. 7/30/12. We followed the recipe until we got to the red peppers, we love spicy so we doubled what was called for. We also drained the artichoke hearts and removed the longer leaves from them so you don't have chewy artichoke. We served over pasta. It was excellent, will prepare again soon. May try with chicken next time. Thank You Paula..:

Fabulous! I added shallots but otherwise made exactly as given. Served with angel hair. Easy and loved by all!
