Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the spinach, artichokes, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Baking
- Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbly, and golden on top.

Notes
For extra creaminess, consider adding softened cream cheese. Switch up the cheese varieties for a spicy twist. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs before baking.
