Lasagna with artichokes, Caciocavallo and saffron. If you enjoy these gourmet ingredients this is your dish. Creamy soft sheets and streamers that melt in your mouth… Among other things, It is an easy-to-prepare pudding now that the fresh lasagna sheets are found in all refrigerator counters of supermarkets. 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 to the type of artichoke, I used the thorny Sardinian, one of the varieties I love most, but each artichoke season is fine. The bechamel is rich and has an aroma that I love very much: Saffron. Making it good but also beautiful, intense yellow color. I use the’Eagle Dop or that sardo, by San Gavino which is Slow Food and strictly in pistils, because they have a much more intense aroma. And caciocavallo (I used that Silano Dop), cut into thin slices, full taste of the artichoke lasagna that, in my opinion, is a classic dish from Sunday lunch: so you have no excuse, try it this weekend and let me know if it advances.

Hi Ileana! I love a lot the Sardinia, its products and its environs. I really feel a bit’ SARDA… As with artichokes, I only use the Sardinian spiny, the best of the best in my opinion. Not to mention the sheep, the carasau, peaches in San Sperate, the potatoes of Gavoi… I love this land! Thank you for stopping by me! I embrace you, ADA
