This is one of those recipes whose photo doesn’t truly do it justice!  Such a flavorful and tasty springtime dish made with al dente pasta, spicy crumbled sausage and sautéed artichoke hearts.  A great lesson in prepping fresh artichokes, but feel free to buy frozen artichoke hearts in a pinch.  Flavored with fresh rosemary, lemon juice and sliced garlic–the sauce gets its lovely texture and creaminess from the addition of chicken stock and oh yes…creamy mascarpone cheese.
