Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 jumbo pasta shells (about 12 ounces)
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
1 cup whole milk ricotta
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup panko
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Mix together the spinach, artichokes, ricotta, 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk together the half-and-half, mozzarella, remaining 4 ounces cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl until smooth and combined. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until warm and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread 1/2 cup cheese sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stuff a heaping tablespoon of the spinach mixture into each shell and arrange them in the baking dish seam-side up. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the shells, cover with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, breadcrumbs and parsley, if using, in a small bowl until well combined. Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the mixture over the shells. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 artichoke bottoms
1 1/2 lbs spinach
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated swiss cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash nutmeg
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare artichokes or buy canned bottoms. To prepare remove stem and then break the leaves of the base. Artichoke should have a conical shape when done. Cut off the core of the artichoke above the base. Base should be trimmed with vegetable peeler until all of the fibrous material is removed. Place the core and bottom in lemon water. The choke will be removed after cooking.
  • Arrange artichoke pieces in one layer in saucepan with little oil, water, lemon juice and a dash of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes covered. Once tender remove bottoms with spoon and pour cooking liquid over the bottoms.
  • Spinach Sauté:.
  • Cook in skillet with dash of salt 3-4 minutes until wilted. Drain. Using a spoon, press spinach to extract water. Chop the spinach and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat butter in skillet until dark brown then add spinach. Sauté just until heated. Reheat the artichoke bottoms in their liquid and drain. Arrange them in a gratin dish and spoon spinach into each one. Press the Swiss cheese on top of spinach.
  • Gratin Sauce:.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan and add flour. Mix with whisk and cook on medium heat for 10 seconds. Add the milk all at once and mix with whisk. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until sauce boils. Reduce heat and boil for 30 seconds. Add cream and remove from heat.
  • Preheat the broiler. Coat the artichokes with sauce and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Heat under broiler for 3-4 minutes or until browned.

  • Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, have tightly closed leaves, and a bright green color.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Remove the tough outer leaves and trim the remaining leaves to make them even.
  • Stuff the artichokes generously: Use a variety of fillings to add flavor and texture to the artichokes. Some popular options include spinach, cheese, bread crumbs, and sausage.
  • Cook the artichokes until tender: Artichokes can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, and baking. Cook the artichokes until the leaves are tender and the hearts are cooked through.
  • Serve the artichokes with your favorite dipping sauce: Artichokes are often served with a dipping sauce, such as melted butter, hollandaise sauce, or aioli.
