"I came up with this one night to satisfy both my husband's wish for an olive oil-based pasta dish, and my craving for artichokes. We really enjoyed this hot and also the next day for lunch as a cold pasta salad. Cooking times are approximate since I didn't keep track, but it is a fairly good guess. Everything should only be cooked until heated..."

"On Sundays I cook with weekday lunches in mind, favoring big pots of tasty dishes that reheat well in the microwave at work. This low-fat, whole grain, high-fiber and vegan pasta dish is full of some of my favorite foods - Green beans, chickpeas and pasta. Mmm. Nutritional yeast adds B-12 and other vitamins and a slightly cheesy taste, though folks..."
