Tamra's Lemon Artichoke Pesto

By: TAMRAKAT 
"Chopped artichoke hearts with garlic, lemon juice, and Parmesan. Great on rotelle pasta or as an appetizer on mini toasts. Tastes just like the stuff I was paying too much for at the specialty market. We freeze the leftovers in an ice tray for easy weekday dinners."
