175g (6oz) Buitoni fettucine 250g jar Buitoni Toscana sauce 70g packet Parma ham slices 180g tub artichoke hearts, marinated in oil cracked black pepper fresh basil leaves, if available

Put a big pan of water on to boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
Tear the Parma ham into bite size pieces. Drain (reserve the oil from the artichokes) and slice each heart into four.
When the pasta is ready, drain, and then tip it back into the pan with the Toscana sauce, the Parma ham and the artichokes. Toss it all together, and heat gently until it’s nice and hot to eat.
Drizzle over a glug of the reserved artichoke oil, then divide the pasta between 2 warmed plates. A few fresh basil leaves make a good finish, if you have some.
