I love artichokes and enjoyed this recipe. The only cheese I had was cheddar so used that....also halved the recipe. The only reason I give it only 4*s is the work involved de-lumping the sauce and the messy cleanup. I had to zap it in my mini processor after first trying to whisk it while cooking. There wasn't a speck of butter left in the pan when I removed the artichokes, so the flour went into a virtually dry pan. I thought of adding more, but figured there was already enough butter in the artichokes, so didn't. Maybe that was the problem. Next time I make it I may add only half the butter to saute the 'chokes and add the rest just before adding the flour. I WILL make this 'til I get it right!

This was delicious. I loved the flavor of the swiss cheese with the artichokes. I did add a bit more garlic, though.....just habit, I guess;) Thanx for sharing this recipe! UPDATE: I've made this a few times since my first review in July 05. I've been sauteeing some chopped onions w/ the artichokes. Fantastic! I'll keep making this one!

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
