Giant tortelloni with artichoke and gorgonzola

I wish it was easier to get fresh artichokes in Poland. Actually, I find it impossible. During this time, back in Italy you could find the last specimen. Here, you can be happy if you find them in jars. I'm kind of happy I got them, actually, but I could be much more.
As you have seen, this week is dedicated to size and simplicity. Potatoes are easy to find, they're cheap and tasty and they go well with almost anything.

  • 200gr flour
