Creamy Artichoke Pasta

Okay so I love pasta, like a lot.  Not so good for any kind of diet, but this pasta is awesome!  Feeds about 4 hungry adults.  It has a nice flavor with a creamy texture.  My husband has a pretty mild pallet, and I like all typed of flavor and cuisine, but he loved it!  My son even ate it (he's 20 months) so it was kind of a miracle :)  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
