1 (6 ounce) can marinated artichoke hearts
1 small onion
I/2 cup chopped red pepper
3 cloves garlic, chopped

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain and keep warm.

While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place olive oil, butter, and liquid from artichoke hearts in skillet. Cut artichoke hearts into bite-size pieces. When olive oil mixture is hot, add onion and garlic. Sauté until soft and lightly browned. Stir in artichoke hearts and sauté until heated through.

I love artichokes, too. There's a recipe for an artichoke, feta cheese, tomato and rice casserole under the easy veggie recipes thread that's good too.
