White lasagna with artichokes: the right ingredients

I prefer making pasta at home, because flavor and texture are much better, But if you decide to buy it ready I suggest you just take a rough and quite often, because it fits better with this rustic sauce, vegetarian and tasty.

As for the type of artichoke, I used the Sardinian thorns, one of the varieties I love most, but each artichoke season is fine. The bechamel sauce It's rich and has an aroma that I really love: lo saffron. Making it good but also beautiful, intense yellow color. I use the one from’Eagle Dop or that sardo, Of San Gavino which is Slow Food and strictly in pistils, because they have a much more intense aroma. And the caciocavallo (I used that Silano Dop), cut into thin slices, completes the taste of artichoke lasagna. Which in my opinion are a classic first course for Sunday lunch: so you have no excuse, try it this weekend and let me know if it advances.
