Olive Garden Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325ºF.
• Artichoke Preparation:.
• TRIM off stems and dry leaf ends.
• BOIL artichokes in 3 quarts water with 1 tsp salt and lemon juice for 30 minutes.
• COOL artichokes. Clean, peel, remove center "choke" (the hairy part) and slice artichoke.
• FOLLOW Dip Preparation steps below.
• Dip Preparation:.
• MIX all ingredients in a large bowl, except bread and extra virgin olive oil.
• COAT a large non-stick baking pan with pan spray; fill pan with mixture. Bake at 325ºF for about 25 minutes or until bubbling and center is hot.
• DRIZZLE both sides of bread with extra virgin olive oil. Grill bread on both sides.
• SPRINKLE top of heated dip with parmesan cheese. Serve hot with grilled bread.

Steps:

• Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature.
• Cream together mayonnaise, Parmesan, Romano cheese, garlic, basil, and garlic salt. Mix well.
• Add the artichoke hearts and spinach (be careful to drain this well), and mix until blended.
• Spray pie pan with Pam, pour in dip, and top with mozarella cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is browned.
• Best served with thinly sliced toasted bread, such as French or Italian.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2-quart baking dish (round or rectangular) with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
• In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, olives, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, Pecorino and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Then add the garlic, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to roughly chop.
• Place dough balls around the edge of the prepared baking dish. Fill the center of the dish with the dip, spreading to even. Press any remaining dough balls into the top of the dip. Brush the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and then sprinkle the dough and the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip is bubbling and the rolls are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.
