Parmesan Pasta With Artichokes

Again, this is what happens when you watch too much food network, you get all creative in the kitchen and have to start cooking pseudo gourmet things -- haha!

2 cups cooked rotini pasta (farfalle would also work well)
1 can artichoke hearts (or marinated if you prefer)
3 T capers (optional)
1 clove minced garlic
1 T fresh/frozen parsley
1 chopped shallot
2 T butter
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese (more if you want!!)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Cook pasta before hand and have it waiting. On the stovetop melt the butter and add shallots and garlic. Sautee for 1-2 mins and then add the artichoke and capers. Cook till all are heated thru. Combine pasta with the artichoke/capers/shallots and mix well. Drizzle olive oil on top and garnish with the cheese and parsely.
Serve with your favorite chicken or fish.
