Directions
- Sauce Preparation:
- In a saucepan put a 1/4 of EV olive oil and let it heat up.
- Add chopped onions and let saute` for 1 min.
- Add chopped garlic and cook for an additional 2 mins.
- Add crushed tomatoes, parsley and basil.
- Cook sauce for 20 mins.
- Stuffing Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, put 1 cup of grated Parmigiano and 1/2 cup of plain bread crumbs. Mix well.
- Add 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic and fresh cut parsley. Mix well.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add 3 eggs and mix until all the ingredients are well amalgamated into a soft consistency.
- Cook the Artichokes:
- Remove artichokes from water and squeeze any excess water from them. Gently open the centers so there is enough room to place 1/3 cup of the stuffing into each artichoke.
- In a frying pan, heat ½ cup of vegetable oil. When the oild gets hot place each artichoke face down (stuffing hits the oil first) and fry for approx 1 minute or until the tops are browned. This will solidify the stuffing so it does not separate once placed into the sauce.
- Place artichokes in sauce and cook for 30 minutes.
- While artichokes are simmering, cook spaghetti.
- In a platter, place spaghetti in center of dish and spoon sauce over. Place artichokes around the pasta. Garnish with basil.
