Servings: persons

2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs spinach, cleaned, trimmed, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup milk
8 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
6 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
coarse salt and pepper
baguette, slices for serving

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
2
Add spinach in two additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid.
3
In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/2 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use a generous amount!). Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
4
Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with bread.
