Mediterranean Pasta with Artichokes, Olives, and Tomatoes

Taken from Martha Stewart, this recipe is pretty easy and my boyfriend said it was quote: 'delicious!'

Ingredients
Coarse salt and ground pepper
12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 Medium onion, thinly sliced
2 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed, and quartered lengthwise
1/3 Cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
1 Pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese or Soy Cheese
1/2 Cup Basil Leaves, torn

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Return pasta to pot.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, cook, stirring occasionally until browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir in artichokes and cook until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add olives and half of the tomatoes; cook until tomatoes start to break down, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta to skillet. Stir in remaining tomatoes, oil, cheese, and basil. Thin with reserved pasta water if necessary to coat the spaghetti. Serve with additional cheese.
