1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14oz.) quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 T. chopped fresh basil or parsley
1 T. fresh lemon juice
Ground black pepper
In saucepan, heat oil and butter. When butter is melted, add garlic and sauté for 2-3 min. Add artichoke hearts, basil, and lemon juice and simmer for 10 min. Add black pepper to taste. Serve warm over pasta with fresh parmesan.
**This sauce is easy and versatile. I have served over linguine, spinach fettucine, and cheese ravioli. I have also added olives, red peppers, red onion. May be good with fish too!

2 1/2 cups drained pitted black olives*
1 garlic clove, minced

Chop half of the olives and set aside. In a food processor, blend remaining olives with garlic, pine nuts, and 1 T. olive oil until mixture is somewhat smooth. Add more oil if needed. Stir in chopped olives. Serve with toasted bread, tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Also good as pasta topping. Best served at room temperature. Should refrigerate for about a week.
