1

In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the pasta is slightly firm. Drain.

When the sauce is cooked and has thickened, add the broccoli and artichoke hearts, stir to combine, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

When the sauce is finished, place the cooked ziti pasta in a large bowl, pour the sauce over the pasta, and toss to coat and mix.
