When hunger strikes, strike back with a panino filled with pesto, arugula, artichoke, Prosciutto di Parma and Asiago cheese.
May the panini force be with you!

It’s 11pm, I already had dinner and a post-dinner snack and I am STARVED for your sandwich. Ivonne…think we could cut a deal with FedEx?
09/12/06 at 5:16 pm
I have had braces on for almost 2 years and what I miss most is being able to take a big BITE out of a panini like this! All of my favorite ingredients — I would just have to attack it with a knife and fork!! Gorgeous picture!
09/12/06 at 5:34 pm
Oh good lord Ivonne. It’s sometimes hard to make food look appetizing onscreen, but you have succeeded girl! That panini looks unbelievably satisfying.
Once again your posts are the best out there - always inspiration to drop what I’m doing and get my butt in the kitchen!
09/12/06 at 5:57 pm
Oh, yum! I’ll have to try these this week!
09/12/06 at 6:49 pm
This pannini has all of my favorites in it!!! And I am soooo hungry right now…it is just too cruel!
09/12/06 at 7:42 pm
Those are some killer combonations in that sandwich. I could really go for it right about now.
09/12/06 at 8:00 pm
oh my gosh, that looks really good!
09/12/06 at 9:43 pm
I want THAT for dinner! Oh wait! I have just had dinner. Don’t do this to me! Kidding aside, this sandwich looks absolutely delicious. Great recipe and picture!
09/12/06 at 10:32 pm
This looks like such a good sandwich Yum!
09/12/06 at 11:11 pm
Ivonne, I think you’re doing quite well without an oven. This looks incredible!
09/12/06 at 11:13 pm
Any suggestions on what to use if we don’t have a press?
09/12/06 at 11:46 pm
Of course this is non fattening….my mouth is watering1 Happy cooking
09/13/06 at 12:06 am
I just want you to know that J actually just tried to eat my computer screen and then begged me to make this for him. Nice going =)
09/13/06 at 12:48 am
Love paninis. I ate them in Italy quite a bit, actually, though most were overpriced. I’d love a panini machine one day.
09/13/06 at 8:18 am
There’s a sandwich with all of my favorite things: pesto, prosciutto, cheese, artichokes…heaven between two slices of bread, Ivonne.
Well done!
09/13/06 at 9:04 am
YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!!
09/13/06 at 9:38 am
I’m starting to think that *I* might not need an oven anymore! Simply fantastic!
09/13/06 at 10:07 am
Mom always says, “You can never have too much pesto.”
Yummy as always, Ivonne.
09/13/06 at 1:12 pm
Aaah, that looks good. I miss great bread.
09/13/06 at 1:35 pm
I’ve just had some vaffles and “trollkrem” with my daughter, but after seeing your photo I am already hungry - for a panini.
09/13/06 at 3:21 pm
Oh how I wish I could have this for lunch right now! Definitely beats my salad!
09/13/06 at 6:35 pm
oooh, looks yummy. Our Earl of Sandwich was a very clever man!
09/13/06 at 8:45 pm
Sounds delicious! I recently tried arugula and love its distinctive flavour. I could eat this panini every day!
09/14/06 at 12:15 am
if there something is called the best of the best, it should be your sandwich!
Gattina
Ivonne, I’m afraid I won’t host any event in the coming future, but love to come to any “festa”
09/14/06 at 2:18 am
Oh my gosh! so scrumptious! I am addicted to panini sandwiches. I even bought a panini maker for my home and one for the office. It’s always a winner! I’m also so addicted to your site …I really enjoy your entries!!
09/14/06 at 7:58 am
I don’t know how you do it Ivonne, but you just keep topping yourself. The panini is truly a work of art.
This is just the perfect thing for a lunch break or a pickinik!
09/14/06 at 8:04 am
eccolo un ottimo panino che potrei portami a pranzo! bellissimi colori
09/14/06 at 9:29 am
Sigh. Gawd, your photos and food are gorgeous. I love visiting this page.
09/14/06 at 5:20 pm
Hi Ivonne, your panini make me hungry !
This is also to inform you that I have just “dared” to launch a project. You are invited !…..
I am sure the menu you mentioned 8 months ago will be updated… Hugs and looking forward to your contribution !
09/14/06 at 7:34 pm
I haven’t eaten anything for more than ate…I mean eight hours. I was fine until I visited your blog…must eat first and visit after…

Looks divine.

Mighty fine looking sandwich!! I was to cheap to purchase a panini press so I pulled out the old George Forman Grill and presto a great sarnie.
09/16/06 at 8:00 am
Quick question, did you use fresh or aged asiago in your panini? It sounds delicious.
10/3/06 at 9:57 pm
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the great comments! After making this panino I can’t believe I don’t use my panini press more often!!!
