1.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook pasta 8 minutes, or until just tender; drain.
2.Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan; cook asparagus and garlic, stirring, about 2 minutes or until asparagus is just tender. Add peas and artichokes; cook for 2 minutes.

Artichoke hearts are the tender centres of the globe artichoke, which has tough petal-like leaves that are edible, in part, when cooked. (It is actually a large flower bud of a member of the thistle family.) Artichoke hearts are available fresh from the plant, or purchased in brine, either canned or in glass jars.
