Ingredients:

Serving

2 (32 oz) cartons chicken broth
6 whole artichokes (may substitute 2 -9 oz packages frozen artichoke quarters, thawed and drained)
2 -3 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp divided extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup pancetta, sliced and cubed
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 (16 oz) box orzo pasta
1/2 cup parmigiano, freshly

Directions:

HEAT chicken broth in a medium sized pot over low heat until hot. Leave on stove top on lowest heat until needed.
CLEAN artichokes by slicing 1/4 inch off the top and bottom. Remove all the tough outer leaves leaving a quarter of the artichoke remaining. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise and remove choke. Cut into thin slices and soak in a bowl of water with lemon juice to prevent browning.
HEAT 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and drained artichoke slices; saute 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. In same skillet, add pancetta.
SAUTE pancetta over medium high heat until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
ADD remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Add onions and saute for 2-3 minutes.
ADD Orzo and enough hot chicken broth to cover pasta. Cook continuously, adding more broth as needed until pasta is cooked.
ADD artichokes a few minutes before the end of cooking. When pasta is a smooth consistency and excess broth is evaporated, stir in cheese, pancetta and butter.
TRANSFER to a serving platter or bowl and serve hot.
SERVE with red wine.
