½ cup Italian Parsley – chopped fine
½ tsp. red pepper flakes

1 Bring the artichokes to a slow boil with the lemon wedge added.  Simmer on low until the leaves are tender; 15 -20 minutes. 2 Drain and let the artichokes cool.  When the artichokes are cooled pound them on the counter to open them up; then snip the tips of the leaves and the stems off. 3 Combine the cheese, garlic, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes and parsley in a bowl.  Stuff the leaves of the artichokes and place in a baking dish; drizzle the tops with olive oil. 4 Preheat Oven 350 degrees: 5 Bake the artichokes 30-35 minutes.  Let cool a bit and serve.
