Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup fresh basil
1/3 cup olive oil
2 -3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp capers, drained
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 -3 tsp dijon-style mustard (i use hellman's dijonaisse mustard for this)
1 -2 garlic clove (peeled )
1 french bread ( unsliced)
1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (can use more )
4 -5 oz sliced provolone cheese (or to taste) or 4 -5 oz mozzarella cheese (or to taste)
2 large firm tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups fresh spinach , torn in pieces (i purchase the prewashed bags of spinach for this or you can use lettuce in place of spinach)
italian salami (optional) or cold cuts (optional)

Directions:

To make the basil/parmesan mixture: (this mixture can be doubled if desired) in a blender or food processor bowl combine fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, capers, wine vinegar, mustard and garlic cloves; process until almost smooth.
Cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours (overnight is better!).
Cut the bread in half lengthwise.
Hollow out each half (leaving a 1/2-inch shell).
Spread the prepared basil mixture over each bread half, then layer artichoke hearts (at this point you can add in cold cuts if desired) then provolone cheese, tomato then top with spinach.
Cover with the bread top.
Cut the sandwich crosswise into about 6-8 pieces.
