Steps:

• Brown meat in oil, add onion and cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, rosemary and artichoke marinade. Cook over medium heat 10 -15 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in artichoke hearts. Serve over angel hair pasta. Top with feta cheese. • I also use mushrooms and capers. I sauté the mushrooms with the meat and onion and I add the capers at the end with the artichoke hearts. • I use two can of tomatoes instead of one to give more sauce

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
