Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, and garlic until smooth and well blended.
  3. Fold in the drained spinach and chopped artichoke hearts. Mix until the spinach and artichoke are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Cook Notes

For a smoother dip, blend the spinach and artichoke mixture before adding it to the cheese base. This creates a creamier texture that’s perfect for spreading.

Variations

Keto Version

Substitute the Alfredo-style pasta sauce with a homemade keto-friendly version made from heavy cream, butter, and garlic. Use a keto-approved cream cheese and swap out the traditional mozzarella for a low-carb alternative.

Low-Carb Version

For a low-carb variation, focus on reducing the Alfredo sauce or replacing it with a lighter option. Increase the artichokes and spinach for added fiber and nutrients without the carbs.
