This easy, low-fat recipe has great Mediterranean flavors (lemon, tarragon, oregano, artichoke hearts) and really leaves you satisfied. For company, I've thinned the sauce with some chicken broth or white wine and served it over angel hair pasta for a more formal presentation. I created this because I wanted a recipe that uses the items I have in my pantry every day. This and a salad and you are done! You can use mostaccioli or another dry short pasta in place of the pipette, if desired.
