Favorite Ingredients Friday

Overwhelmed With Joy is hosting Favorite Ingredients Friday, stop by her site to see what others are cookin'. I'm trying to get all my meatless meals posted so I'll add another one today. This is my absolute favorite. I used to make it for guests and they always asked for the recipe before they left. I don't get to eat it very often any more because my DH doesn't like artichokes. For more meatless meals, just click on the label "meatless meals" at the bottom of this post.
