Artichoke Olive Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add seashell pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the artichoke hearts in a food processor and process until smooth. Process the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic and dill with the artichoke hearts until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly brown.

Steps:

• Mash garlic clove with 2 pinches of kosher salt until paste with mortar and pestle (or back of knife.) Boil artichoke hearts following package instructions drain and let cool. Put all ingredients in food processor and process until everything is rough chop and well combined. Add salt and pepper, more lemon to taste.
