Spinach Artichoke Dip

 

1 6.25 ounce jar marinated artichokes(drained)

1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained very well)

½ t. minced garlic

1/3 c. freshly grated romano cheese

¼ c. freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1/3 c. cream or half and half

½ c. sour cream

 

In food processor or blender, blend artichokes, romano cheese, garlic and parmesan cheese for about 1-1 ½ minutes.  Artichokes and cheese should be minced, but should not be pasty.  In a mixing bowl, add drained spinach, cream, sour cream, mozzarella, stir well.  Add blender mixture to cream mixture, stir well.  Pour into a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Artichoke dip should be a little bubbly and cheese melted through.  Remove from over and serve with your favorite heated tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa.
