ARTICHOKE & SUN-DRIED TOMATO LASAGNA



Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Lasagna image

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 spring baby artichokes
1 cup sun-dried tomato (no oil)
2 lemons
1/4 cup butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons flour
4 cups milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup finely chopped mozzarella cheese (1 large ball, about 1/2 pound)
1 lb fresh green lasagna noodle

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.

Fusilli with Sausage, Artichokes, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 38m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, sliced, 2 tablespoons of oil reserved
1 pound Italian hot sausages, casings removed
2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
16 ounces fusilli pasta
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, plus additional for garnish
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
8 ounces water-packed fresh mozzarella, drained and cubed, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil reserved from the tomatoes in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown, breaking up the meat into bite-size pieces with a fork, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl. Add the artichokes and garlic to the same skillet, and saute over medium heat until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes. Boil over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces slightly, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fusilli in boiling water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta (do not rinse). Add the pasta, sausage, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, and parsley to the artichoke mixture. Toss until the sauce is almost absorbed by the pasta. Stir in the mozzarella. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve, passing the additional Parmesan cheese alongside.

Tips

- For the best flavor, use fresh artichokes. Frozen or canned artichokes can be used as a substitute, but they will not have the same flavor or texture. - If you use canned artichoke hearts, be sure to rinse them well before using. - Sundried tomatoes can be found in the oil-packed section of most grocery stores. If you prefer, you can also use fresh sundried tomatoes. - To make your own sundried tomatoes, slice Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 hours, or until the tomatoes are mostly dry. - Use a good quality ricotta cheese for the best results. - Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is always best, but you can use pre-shredded Parmesan cheese if you are short on time. - Be sure to use a lasagna noodle that is specifically designed for baking. Regular lasagna noodles will not hold up well in the oven. - To prevent the lasagna from drying out, cover it with foil before baking. - Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.
