After the Foodbuzz Festival, I was contacted by Mezzetta who so graciously donated many of their products in our swag bags to see if I’d enjoyed what I’d sampled. I replied that YES I loved them, and would love to try a few more – particularly artichokes as they’re my most favorite food, hands down, on the planet.
And boy did they deliver! They sent some scrumptious looking samples that I put to good use tonight.
Coupled with Whole Wheat Farfalle and some diced rotisserie chicken.
The marinara sounded really interesting with all the flavors listed.
And these babies? Need I say more…
Just like Sandra Lee, I prepared a semi-homemade meal tonight.
Diced the chicken, boiled the pasta, drained the artichokes and basically dumped all together.
Served alongside a glass of Pinot Noir…
The marinara had some SERIOUS kick to it! It was an awesome bite!
And the artichokes were out of this world. Some that I try are kind of tough and chewy, but Mezzetta’s were soft and perfectly marinated. LOVE their stuff!
Off to sip another glass of vino and keep purging some old clothes and other items we don’t use so we don’t have to move with them in the coming weeks!
Are you purging any of yourself for 2010?

That looks like a great dinner! I love artichoke hearts and don't eat them enough!
I'm moving in February, so the next couple weekends will be spent sorting for goodwill and whale of a sale donations :) It feels great to get rid of clutter!
I totally need to purge stuff in 2010!! That is a very sweet sample!! I love, love, love artichokes!
I just moved out of my parents house, and its AMAZING how much junk I have. How I fit it all into my bedroom I will never know. I really should get rid of most of it.
That meal looks amazing. I love artichokes.

I am a huge fan of artichokes but rarely know how to incorporate them in to my meals. Faboooooosh pasta!
