Artichoke & Spinach Dip
I confess that I used to love the “TGIFridays” dip that I used to get in the frozen section of the supermarket. So I reworked this as a fresh version..homemade is always much nicer. Just yummy with flax seed parmesan crisps, cheese crisps or even crudettes. You could always use this as a sauce combined with Gluten Free Pasta too. Or anything that will go into a dip and is not processed ..spoon..finger..your choice…I won’t judge….
I use fresh spinach here, but you could also use frozen spinach.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup spinach
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
1 14oz can artichoke hearts, finely chopped
1 portion Alfredo sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
100g cream cheese
1 tspn garlic powder
salt and pepper
1 tblspn olive oil
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Mix the garlic, spinach, artichokes, alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and cream cheese in a bowl. Combine well.
Spread the sauce over a 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Eat and enjoy!
