With the machine on, pour in the eggs and process until a smooth, sticky dough forms. Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. The dough will be soft and still slightly tacky.

Cut the dough in half. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6- to 8-inch-long strands 1/3 inch wide. Dust 2 large baking sheets with cornmeal and carefully lay the strands on the sheets; sprinkle the strands with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze a lemon half into it. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, snap off the outer leaves. Using a sharp knife, cut off the top two-thirds of the leaves and trim the base and stem. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out the furry choke. Rub the artichoke heart all over with the remaining lemon half. Slice the heart 1/4 inch thick and put in the bowl of lemon water. Repeat with the remaining 3 artichokes.
