- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 14 ounce canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- 10 ounces baby spinach wilted and squeezed dry

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan or skillet, combine Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Fold in chopped artichoke hearts, drained spinach, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano cheeses. Stir gently until cheeses are melted, keeping the heat low.
- Add milk or cream gradually, mixing until smooth. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top.

Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips:
- Use fresh baby spinach and wilt it in a pan before squeezing out the excess moisture for the best flavor and texture
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to make mixing easier and to achieve a smoother dip
- Try using a combination of cheeses like Gruyère or Fontina for a different flavor profile
- Let the dip rest for a few minutes before serving so it isn’t molten hot
