Watch Franca make two great Sicilian artichoke dishes | Pasta Grannies

Franca likes to dress her pasta with stewed artichokes mixed with ricotta and spiced with chilli; and also to grill artichokes over an open bed of coals. Both are delicious - especially when the artichokes are on the table within 2 hours of harvesting. The town of Cerda holds an annual festival celebrating artichokes in April (so put it in your diary for next year).
