Sun-Dried Tomato and Artichoke Carbonara
with broccoli
Spaghetti carbonara is a unique pasta dish in which hot pasta is tossed with raw eggs. The heat from the pasta cooks the eggs just enough to form a silky, smooth sauce. We can't leave well enough alone, so we're always playing with the flavors of this iconic recipe. This version, which we first featured in 2020, features artichokes, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Make
-
Place a large stockpot of water (for pasta) over high heat and bring to a boil. Salt the water well.
-
When water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions.
-
While pasta is boiling, heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat. Add cooking oil and then broccoli, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes with some salt. Saute until everything is heated through and starting to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in reserved oil.
-
When pasta is done, drain.
-
Working quickly, add hot pasta to egg sauce and toss it vigorously with tongs to combine. (The hot pasta should gently cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce.)
-
Add broccoli, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and parsley to pasta and continue tossing everything until evenly combined. Taste and season with some salt if needed.
-
Divide pasta between serving bowls. Top with black pepper, some red pepper flakes, and some more cheese if you’d like. Enjoy!
