Servings: persons

1 whole Sweet Onion, Chopped
3 Tablespoons Light Margarine
5 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
16 ounces, weight Frozen Chopped Spinach (Thawed, Drained)
8 ounces, weight Reduced-fat Or Fat-free Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
1/4 cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
3 pinches Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
1 jar (about 6 Oz.) Artichoke Hearts, Drained, Rinsed, & Chopped
12 ounces, weight Reduced-fat Or Fat-free Sour Cream
1/4 cups Reduced-fat Monterey Jack Cheese (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Saute chopped onions in margarine until translucent, about 3 to 4 minuntes.
3
Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
4
Add spinach and saute until just warmed through.
5
Add cream cheese and cook until fully incorporated.
6
Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
7
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh ground black pepper, to taste.
8
Remove from the stove and add artichoke hearts and sour-cream.
9
Pour into an oven-proof dish and top with Monterey Jack cheese, if using (I usually skip the Monterey Jack if I am taking this dip to a potluck because as it cools, the cheese on top solidifies and impedes dipping).
10
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
11
I serve this with Staceys Pita chips (Naked or Garlic-Parmesan), baked tortilla chips, or tri-colored pepper strips.
12
You will never bring home leftovers!
