- 3 cups water boiling
- 1 can vegetable broth
- 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 can artichoke hearts drained
- 1 cup black olives

Instructions
- Bring 3 cups to boil in a large pot. Add pasta, vegetable broth, onions, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, thyme, and cumin.
- Allow the pasta to come back to a boil over high heat, and stir the pasta and it begins to cook.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the sauce as reduced, you can season with salt and pepper.
