ARTICHOKE & SUN-DRIED TOMATO LASAGNA
I couldn't believe it when I found this recipe. I love artichokes and I'll try any recipe once. This is fantastic. I found it at Epicurian & added the Sun dried tomatoes 'cause I like them with artichokes. It was a great improvement. Instead of the Bechamel sauce you can use a pre-made four cheese sauce or even alfredo.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare a bowl of acidulated water by squeezing the juice of one lemon to the water.
- To prepare the artichokes, snap off the outer leaves down to the tender inner leaves. Slice off the tops and quarter the artichokes, rubbing the cut edges with half a lemon to prevent them from discoloring. Cut out the fuzzy inner choke and thinly slice each quarter. Drop into the bowl of acidulated water. Repeat with all the artichokes.
- Drain the artichokes and put them into a large flat pan. Add the butter and water just to cover. Cook over a medium-high fire until the water has totally evaporated and the artichokes are tender. Salt well and transfer to a large bowl. Mix with 3/4 quarters of the Béchamel. Taste, add the juice of the remaining half lemon, and more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Htydrate the sun dried tomatoes in hot water.
- Put the cheeses in two separate bowls. Fill another large bowl with cold water. Fill yet another pan with water, add some salt, and bring to a boil. Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the finished dish.
- To assemble, butter a large baking pan. Drop enough pasta to cover the bottom of the baking dish into the boiling water. After a minute, remove the pasta with a slotted spoon and drop into a bowl of cold water to cool. When the pasta is cool, remove and layer the bottom of the baking dish with the noodles. Spread 1/4 of the artichoke cream over, then 1/4 of each of the cheeses and some tomato pieces.
- Repeat the process to make two more layers. Put another layer of pasta leaves on top, and cover with the remaining Béchamel and cheeses. Add some more salt, and grind some pepper over the top. (Up to this point, the lasagna can be prepared some hours before serving.).
- Bake for about half an hour, until a golden-brown crust has formed. Allow to rest a bit before serving.

LAMB WITH ARTICHOKES AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Season lamb shanks lightly with salt and pepper. Add lamb to pot and cook until brown, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add canned tomatoes, broth and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring liquids to boil. Cover pot and bake lamb until almost tender, turning once, about 1 hour. Add artichoke hearts. Cover and bake until lamb is very tender, about 20 minutes. (Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cool, cover and refrigerate.)
- Transfer lamb to plate. Spoon fat from surface of pan juices. Boil pan juices over high heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return lamb to pot and rewarm over low heat.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Use a good quality pasta sauce and cheese.
- Don't overcook the artichokes: Artichokes should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will create a more complex and flavorful lasagna. Use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
- Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of pasta sauce, then add a layer of artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Top with a layer of cheese, then repeat the layers until you have used up all of the ingredients. Finish with a layer of pasta sauce and cheese.
- Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will take about 30 minutes. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Artichoke, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Spinach Lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and homemade pasta sauce, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
