Method:

1
Wash artichokes under cold water. Using a stainless steel knife, trim the outer part of the stems. Pull off the lower petals that are small and tough.
2
Cut off the top inch of the artichoke then cut in half, top to bottom. Rub with half a lemon to preserve the green color.
3
Put the oil, broth, garlic, lemon and herbs in a casserole pan.
4
Place the artichoke halves in the liquid face down. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes until tender.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, 3 cloves of sliced garlic and spinach. Stir in the egg and about 6 ounces of cheese; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, oil, remaining slices of garlic, remaining cheese and parsley; season with salt and pepper.
6
Remove the artichokes from the pan and carefully scoop out the chokes. Fill the cavity of artichoke with the cheese mixture and place on a baking pan.
7
Sprinkle the tops with the bread crumb mixture. Broil for 5 minutes until the cheese is warm and the crumbs are browned.
8
Serve with lemon wedges.
