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.
