Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach according to package instructions, then drain and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and roughly chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Fold in the drained spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, mixing until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly to create a smooth top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
For a golden-brown top, switch your oven to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
