Preparation

Step 1

* Alternate Mushrooms: Chanterelle, Common Store Mushroom, Puffballs

In a medium saucepan, simmer the artichokes in water to cover and the vinegar for 5 to 8 minutes or until they can be pierced with a fork. Drain.

In a sauté pan or skillet, sauté the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil for 5 minutes. Add the green onions and cook until translucent. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the artichokes. Set aside and keep warm.

Cook the fettuccine in a large amount of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain. Put the fettuccine back into the pot, add the butter, and toss the pasta to coat it. Add the cream and quickly toss. Add the artichokes, mushrooms, and parsley and toss again.

Serve this dish in a large platter accompanied with a bowl of Parmesan cheese.
