Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 cups fresh spinach (long stems removed and roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 14.5 ounce jar artichokes (packed in water, drained and chopped)
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- ¾ cup Mozzarella cheese (divided use)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a medium baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
- Heat remaining olive oil and minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and basil and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts, about 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer wilted spinach mixture to a large bowl and add chopped artichokes, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and ½ cup Mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer spinach-artichoke mixture to prepared baking dish and spread into a uniform layer. Top with remaining Mozzarella cheese and place in pre-heated oven until heated through and cheese on top starts to turn golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with tortilla chips or pour into a bread bowl with the removed bread cut into cubes on the side for dipping.
