Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add drained tomatoes, basil, oregano, chile flakes and salt to skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently and breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they cook.

In a medium bowl, toss artichoke quarters, rice and feta together. Pour into a medium casserole dish that has been prepared with vegetable oil spray. When tomato sauce is ready, pour over the rice mixture, shaking the dish so the tomato sauce settles.

Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and bake an additional 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
