Pasta with Tomatoes and Artichokes

This week is the perfect week to stock up on pasta and canned tomatoes, and who doesn't like pasta? I would like to share with you an easy and delicious recipe that you can quickly create in your kitchen right from your storage and pantry. You can interchange any ingredients to your family's liking. Pasta is so easy and can go with many different ingredient options. This is one of my hubby's favorites and it gives out a fabulous and savory flavor!

Ingredients
1 pkg (16 oz each) dry spaghetti, uncooked
2 cans (14.5 oz each) Diced Tomatoes (with basil and olive oil preferred), drained
1 small can chopped olive (optional)

1 small can of artichoke hearts or canned sliced mushrooms (or you can saute fresh sliced mushrooms in a teaspoon of olive oil just enough to make them tender before adding to the tomatoes.)

Garlic salt

Parmesan cheese

Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, in a seperate sauce pan combine tomatoes, olives, mushrooms or artichokes, add just a little garlic salt and stir over a low heat. Drain and rinse noodles. Then pour sauce over noodles and toss carefully. Serve with grated or shredded parmesan cheese sprinkled over top.

Other ingredient options; meatballs or sliced pepperoni or grilled chicken. Instead of artichokes or olives, try fresh basil or steamed spinach. Sooo many options-- tell me your favorites! :)
