1 Rinse artichokes under water and separate. Cut each artichoke heart into 1-2-inch wedges and place in a strainer to drain.
2 In a large saute pan- heat olive oil over medium heat- then add 1 tbsp butter. Saute garlic- stirring constantly- until very lightly golden- remove garlic and discard. Add scallions and cook- stirring constantly- until barely tender- for about 1 minute. Add artichoke wedges and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth- 1 tsp salt and pepper and mix well- cook an additional minute. Stir in heavy cream- turn heat down to low- and cook until sauce thickens slightly- about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3 Cook pasta in 6 quarts boiling water with 1 tbsp salt until al dente. Drain in a colander- transfer to a bowl containing 1 tbsp softened butter and toss quickly. Mix pasta with 3-4 of the sauce and Parmigiano cheese- toss well. Spoon remaining sauce on top and garnish with minced parsley. Serve with additional freshly grated Parmigiano cheese.
