Creamy Lemon Linguine

½ pound of linguine

4 garlic cloves thinly sliced

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

1 package of frozen artichoke hearts (8-10 oz)

6 cups chopped spinach (may use frozen)

2 cups peas (fresh or frozen)

½ cup Parmesan cheese grated

¼ cup half and half

1 TBSP lemon zest

¼ cup lemon juice

3 ½ cups water

Put Pasta, garlic, salt and pepper in a large pot.  Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil stirring frequently for 7-9 minutes – until pasta is al dente.  Stir in spinach, artichokes, and peas and cook until pasta is tender and the water has almost evaporated – 2-4 minutes.  Remove from heat the stir in Parmesan cheese, half and half, lemon zest and lemon juice. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top and serve.
