Delicious


My daughter makes this recipe minus the artichokes, but I like artichokes, so I'll have to try this. Thanks!


I love artichokes and I love pesto, so how could I go wrong with this? Thanks for sharing. - Natalie


I love fresh artichokes and could see why this would be a success with me anyway.
I would be boiling the pasta while preparing this wonderful pesto.
