Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly (30 seconds). Stir in milk. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil (2 to 3 minutes). Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese until melted. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley, mayonnaise, lemon juice, artichoke hearts, lemon peel and pepper. Add cooked onion mixture; mix lightly.
Pour vegetable and cheese mixture into shallow 1 1/2-quart ovenproof casserole. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.
