Here's a very quick and easy recipe for an "all in one" artichoke pasta:

200g		wholemeal pasta shells
sufficient	water to cover
5 cloves	garlic
3 tbsp		yeast flakes
1 can		artichoke hearts
1 cup		soya milk
1 tsp		salt
2 tsp		pepper

Place the pasta shells in a saucepan and fill with water to just cover
the pasta. Do *not* allow as much water as per the instructions on the
packet. Open the can of artichoke hearts and pour the liquid into the
saucepan. Cook the pasta for five minutes, stirring regularly, then add
the artichoke hearts (halved) and cook for two minutes more. Add the
crushed cloves of garlic, the salt and pepper and the yeast flakes. By
now the pasta should have absorbed a lot of the water and the remaining
water will have become starchy thick. Add sufficient soya milk to make a
creamy sauce. Check the pasta is now cooked, leaving it for a minute or
two more if necessary.
