Peel baby artichokes and place in cold water. Squeeze 1 lemon into the water to prevent the artichokes from browning.
Cook the artichokes in boiling salted water until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and reserve. Cut the artichokes into quarters and place in a large bowl. Add juice of 2 remaining lemons, olive oil, Parmesan, basil and toss thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
