New Year's Eve is tonite. With 2 kids under 3, I won't be getting very far. That's ok, though. We will be spending a lovely evening with close friends, playing games and grazing on comfort food-which is exactly what this recipe is..I was super excited that all of these ingredients were lying around my kitchen anyways, so I saved money by not having to go out and pick something up. It's very creamy and rich, savory and hot, try it out and be comforted. Heaven knows we won't be eating like this for awhile come 2012..;-)
You'll need:
A half pack (8oz) packages fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon butter
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese
1/2 tsp minced garlic (1 garlic clove)
1 (14-oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
Method:
1. Microwave spinach in a large, microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 3 minutes or until wilted. Drain spinach well, pressing between paper towels. Chop spinach.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cream cheese and garlic; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until cream cheese melts. Fold in spinach, artichokes, sour cream, and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese; stir until cheese melts.
3. Transfer mixture to a 1-qt. shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with fresh pita wedges or baked pita chips.
