Pasta with Fish, Artichokes and Cheese

My friends,
lets' see how to make this tasty dish, that mix seafood with garden products, like many dishes of Italian cuisine.  Your beautiful dish will be enriched with a cheese :I used salted Ricotta but you can use Parmesan or Pecorino cheese as well.

Ingredients (Metric and Imperial) - Party of 4
  • 400g (14 oz) Spaghetti
  • 4 medium clean artichokes, divided in 4
  • 45g (3 tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil 
  • 400g (14 oz)of Fish fillets (choose your favourite one)
  • 1 clove of garlic,finely chopped
  • 240ml (1 cup) of Beer
  • 15g (1 Tablespoon) Salt for boiling water + 1 pinch for the sauce
  • 1 pinch of pepper (optional)
  • Grated cheese  (the quantity depends on your taste)

Method
  • First of all, finely slice the artichokes
  • Put into a nonstick pan the oil and the garlic and put the pan on a low flame
  • When the garlic becomes a bit darker, add the artichokes and the ber: cover the pan with its top.
  • After 10 minute, add the sliced fish fillets, they will cook in 2 or 3 minutes
  • Boil spaghetti (or the type of pasta you've chosen) in salted water. You've to stop cooking them 2 minutes before the instruction of the packet says. At this time strain them out of the water (saving a glass of it) and pour it in the pan with high flame, mixing them  with the sauce and ending the cooking time in there. The right way to cook them is firm to the bite ( “al dente", in Italian). If they become a bit dry, then add a little quantity of cooking water while mixing.
  • Add some salt and pepper (your taste will guide you for the quantity, serve on your plates,and grate your cheese on the top.
