My husband would LOVE this – thank you!
I have never heard of adding artichoke to a pasta sauce. What a clever recipe.
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
This looks really tasty0 I’ll have to try this out, thanks!
What a great twist on such a classic dish. I would have never thought to put the artichoke in the bolognese.
This looks like a lot of ingredients and instructions .. It looks like a tasty dish as I’ve never had Artichoke before
Now this is something different for the menu! I love artichokes (and sausage) and think this sounds like a great pairing. I think my husband would like it too!
Not sure if my crowd would like this or not but I would be willing to give it a try.
Oh yum! With the pesto in there and the artichokes, it is quite a dish!
I love artichokes, one of my favorites. This dish is a little different than what my family normally eats but I think it is time for us to step out of the box when it comes to what we eat. I would like to try this one night soon.
I love pasta dishes, thanks for sharing. Strangely enough I wasn’t a fan of sausage but it has grown on me. I especially like the spicy type these days
I’m not huge on artichoke but I love it with this bolognese dish! Loving the sausage recipe.
