Pasta Al Forno Con Carciofi is a hearty and satisfying Italian pasta dish that is perfect for a family meal. Artichokes are a key ingredient, and when combined with garlic and a blend of three different cheeses, they create a rich and creamy sauce that coats the rigatoni or penne pasta. This dish can be paired with a green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette or a glass of red wine. It is also a great make-ahead dish for dinner parties.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2.	Trim the artichokes and cut them into quarters. Soak them in a bowl of cold water with lemon juice.
3.	In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4.	In a pan, saute the garlic until it is fragrant, then add the artichokes and cook until they are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
5.	In a bowl, mix together the crumbled goat cheese, parmesan cheese, and gorgonzola cheese.
6.	In a large baking dish, toss the pasta with the artichoke mixture, then sprinkle the cheese mixture over the top.
7.	Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
