    Return to the pot after draining and rinsing with cold water.

    Artichoke hearts, parsley, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oil, and water in a food processor until combined. Don't overprocess the sauce; it should still have some texture.

    Toss pasta with sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
