Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Oh my goodness, this dip is heavenly! I am quite willing to skip all the other dishes from dinner, and just eat this. It is very rich and oh so good. I rough chopped the artichoke hearts, so we had nice big chunks of them in the dip. I liked it that way. However, if you don't want big bites of artichoke, you can easily chop them a bit more before putting them in the dip.


Ingredients:
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
4 cups artichoke hearts drained (chopped)
2 ½ cups chopped spinach (or as much as you like)
½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 teaspoon of dried basil
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Topping:
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together cream cheese, garlic, parmesan cheese and basil. Mix in artichoke hearts, spinach, and mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended. Pour into well greased deep dish 9 inch square pan, top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350*F for approximately 25 minutes or until top is browned. Keep an eye on it, all ovens are different. Serve with toasted antipasto bread.
