Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cavatappi or other short, corkscrew-shaped pasta
Kosher salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 jars (each 12 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts
2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (from 1 small onion)

Steps:

Cook pasta in a pot of generously salted water according to package directions. Add green beans to pot 4 minutes before end of cooking. Drain; transfer pasta and green beans to a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat. Let cool slightly.
Drain artichokes; whisk brine and reserve 1/2 cup. Chop artichokes into 1-inch pieces. Transfer pasta and green beans to a large bowl. Add artichokes and reserved brine, parsley, lemon zest and juice, onion, cheese, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; toss to combine. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes. Serve room temperature or chilled. Pasta can be made up to 4 hours ahead.
