If you don't like spinach or artichokes, you will still love this dip. The garlic mixed with the flavor of real Parmesan-Reggiano is amazing. It can be made in advance and cooked at the last minute - it also re-heats well. I came up with this version of the classic dip when I had a recent neighbor gathering and needed an appetizer. Serve this with good crackers or bread.

The Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mince garlic, basil, & garlic powder - set aside. Chop spinach very fine (almost minced) add to bowl. Chop artichokes and add to bowl. Mix all together, add mozzarella cheese and combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place mixture into lightly greased oven safe bowl or crock (the flatter the better). Bake in oven till slightly brown around the edges (about 25 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top.

Note: When using frozen spinach in a recipe, you will need to remove as much water as possible. After rinsing and chopping, squeeze the spinach by hand until very little water emerges (just draining it in a colander will not work!)
