Preparation
- Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the leeks, tarragon and salt. Cook leeks until tender and golden brown at the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 2
Stir in the artichokes, broth and Parmesan, and bring to a vigorous simmer. Cook until the leeks and artichokes are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook until just tender and bright green, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Step 3
Stir in the lemon zest and fresh herbs. Taste and add more salt if needed. Top the skillet with dollops of ricotta, black pepper and more Parmesan. Serve warm.

Thirty two notes so far from cooks for this recipe and only one of them seems to be from someone who made the recipe as written. I'll join in with Dennis Gray in saying we made it as written at our house too and like Dennis and his wife, my hubby and I loved it. Tarragon, leeks, artichokes, peas, ricotta fresh herbs and all. Crusty bread for dunking in pan sauce. PS - if you don't enjoy tarragon, just leave out the couple of fresh springs it calls for.
For this recipe, just leave it out. Use more of the other herbs. For recipes in general, just leave it out. Use something you do like. Nobody needs more of that licorice-tasting nastiness in their lives.
Adopted for one: Used 1 shallot. Sauteed briefly, added TJ frozen artichoke hearts & baby lima beans, homemade chicken stock & white wine, & dried french tarragon. Reduced & added leftover rotessori chicken breast, frozen baby peas & parmesan. Lemon zest & bit of juice. Dash pepper. Served with buttered oven toasted french bread slices. 15 min max! DELISH
My grocery store was out of dill and leeks, so I substituted fennel, using the bottom in place of the leeks (I also added scallions) and the tops for the dill. Added basil and cilantro at the fresh herbs at the end. This was delicious and although it was filling enough for me with bread, my kids didn’t quite think it qualified as a meal lol.
I made it as per the recipe, I usually follow a recipe the first time as the author knows more than I do! I had to use dried tarragon as had no fresh, but added fresh coriander and mint as suggested. This was my main meal today, I added some tagliatelle, it was truly delicious!
Very nice. Found it to be a little boring/monotextural the night of, but used it as a pasta sauce the next day and it was excellent.
