Break the romanesco (335 g) into florets, chop any leaves, and cut the stalk into 1cm pieces. Heat olive oil (1 tbsp) in a large frying pan and fry the stalks and florets for 8-10 minutes until lightly charred and tender. Add the leaves (if any) for the last 2 minutes. Tip it all onto a plate.

Add the wholewheat pasta (175 g) to the boiling water, cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, drain the artichoke hearts (400 g) (reserving the liquid) and blend in a food processor, or with a stick blender, until smooth.
