I found a gem here! This has all my favorite ingredients and turned out great. The small change I made was used crushed garlic peppercorn spice for the red pepper flakes. This was also pretty easy to prepare, thanks for sharing. -
Delicious! When do you add the artichokes?? and do you drain them or add the fluid to help make the sauce??
