SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP RECIPE
Ingredients
4 cloves garlic
1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 oz.) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces (1/2 of an 8 oz pkg) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
To get started making this copycat Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a small baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until soft.
Meanwhile, open and drain the artichokes, then cut into small pieces.
Once ready, remove the garlic from the oven. As soon as they are cool enough to touch, gently squeeze the softened garlic from the skins.
Then, in an 8-inch serveware dish, spread the roasted garlic, spinach, and artichoke hearts and mix well.
Next, add the Alfredo-style pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese (I found it works best if you cut the already softened cream cheese into smaller pieces). Mix these Spinach and Artichoke Dip ingredients together well.
Top it off with a little more Parmesan cheese, then cover and bake for 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and bubbly.
Serve the Spinach and Artichoke Dip warm and enjoy!
Forget to thaw the spinach and now you’re running out of time? No problem! Follow these tips below and you’ll have it ready to go in no time.
Tips for Thawing and Draining Frozen Spinach
- Remove the frozen block of spinach from the box and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the spinach for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach becomes soft and mushy.
- Take a colander (affiliate link) and line it with a couple of sheets of paper towel.
- Place the mushy spinach on the paper towel. Wrap the paper towel around the spinach and squeeze the water out of the spinach. Make sure you do this over the colander just in case the paper towel tears, but if you use a couple of sheets of strong paper towels, they shouldn’t.
- Squeeze several times as there is more moisture in there than you think!
- Once done, gently remove the paper towels from the spinach, then use a fork to separate out any clumps.
Now simply follow the Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe above and you are good to go!
