That looks so yummy!!
What would I use in place of (gack) hearts of palm? Would unmarinated artichoke hearts be a substitute or...?
Thanks for making Dreamfield's. It allows this insulin resistant, pre-diabetic pasta-lover to have her "cake and eat it, too."
Hi Roberta, Artichoke hearts would work as a substitute. You could also try using Bamboo Shoots or anything with a similar texture. Hope this was helpful!
