I halved this for the two of us (used 3 tomatoes) and it was really good. Next time i will make the full recipe, except for the pasta, so we can have leftovers. I will prepare fresh pasta when we need it. This is a very good light meal by itself. Try this, you can't go wrong. Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved, would be a good substitute when good large tomatoes are hard to find.

I love the fresh Mediterranean flavors in this dish. It is very healthy and light, but really fills you up! The use of the canned artichoke hearts saves a lot of prep time, and the angel hair pasta cooks in practically no time at all! I use my own homegrown tomatoes for this and it comes out delicious every time!
