Loved the ingredients. How can you go wrong with artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, etc. I do; however, think the dish lacked a bit of richness and I think heavy cream vs. milk would really add to this recipe. I will definitely make this dish again; however, next time I will substitute the cream and maybe add mushrooms and a tiny bit of cayenne to give it a "kick". Recipe made for PAC, 2011.

This was delicious! Based on the previous reviewer, I did sub with heavy cream instead of milk, and I used pepper-jack cheese, and marinated artichokes instead of plain ones. I also doubled the recipe and I'm glad I did. Super delicious flavor and so easy to make. Thanks for posting - I'll be making this again. I think some diced red peppers would be a great addition too. Made for Spring PAC 2012.
