Our favorite appetizer at Olive Garden is the hot artichoke dip. We had some friends over recently and my husband (who is an amazing cook and you will see more of in the future) made some artichoke dip and broiled slices of baguette. MMMMM. This is my new favorite! He made it again today...
Want the recipe? I know you do!
Hot Artichoke Dip
(given to me by D. Allen - her source unknown)
(DH's edits are italicized)
Ingredients:
2 jars (6.5oz each) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 10oz pkg frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, pressed or heaping tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
3tbsp ricotta cheese
enough Mozzarella cheese to top your baking dish
Mix everything together and put in a baking dish. Top with plenty of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375*F for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Then broil no more than 2 minutes to brown cheese topping.
Serve with fresh vegetables, chunks of french bread or chips
Our favorite is the baguettes, sliced, brushed with olive oil and baked about 10 minutes. And you can see in the picture he topped it with fresh salsa from our local grocery store.
mmmmmmm!!
