Step 1

Bring 3 cups to boil in a large pot. Add pasta, vegetable broth, onions, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, thyme, and cumin.

Step 2

Allow the pasta to come back to a boil over high heat, and stir the pasta and it begins to cook.

Step 3

Keep the pasta at a boil, but reduce the heat a little as it continues to cook. Occasionally stir with tongs to keep the pasta from sticking together or sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Step 4

As the water reduces and becomes a sauce, watch for the pasta to become cooked. If the pasta needs more cooking time, you can thin the sauce by adding more hot water, 1/2 cup at a time.

Step 5

Once the sauce as reduced, you can season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Once the pasta has cooked, remove from pot and add to plates quickly to keep pasta from overcooking in the broth.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh herbs or parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
