Instructions

Season the Italian sausage and stir-fry it over medium-high heat until well browned, about 9 minutes.

Add the artichoke hearts and zucchini, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir in the pecorino romano, parmesan and chili flakes for 2 minutes.

Cook the farfalle separately and drain.

Let the sausage simmer for about 6 minutes so the flavors meld.

Toss through the basil and fresh basil just before serving.

Serve hot over the farfalle, garnished with fresh herbs.
