Stir in cooked pasta and 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and simmer until heated through. Remove bay leaf.Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with Asiago cheese.NOTE: To peel pearl onions, drop them into boiling water 40 seconds, rinse with cold water then pull off the skins.Because the season for baby artichokes lasts only a few weeks, purchase a few extra to add to your favorite recipes.Makes 4 servings.Per serving: fats, 7 grams (19% of calories); calories, 339; cholesterol, 13 milligrams; carbohydrate, 55 grams; fiber, 6 grams; protein, 13 grams; sodium, 496 milligrams
