Get your Penne boiling...

Get your Garlic roasting until a little golden (I would have minced mine except I couldn't find my mincer)...

Add a can of diced tomatoes...

And then your Artichoke Hearts (And I forgot to cut them up)
You're beginning to think I don't know what I'm doing aren't you?

Let them heat through.
Add your Parmesan until it's all melty looking.
Keep stirring!!!
