Notes
Do not use marinated artichokes, as the flavor will overpower the dish. You want to use the canned artichokes in water, or thawed frozen artichokes.
This works best with a high-powered blender like a Ninja, which is what I use. If you try making it with a regular blender or food processor, it will be grainy, not as smooth and creamy. It will still work, but not be nearly as good!
