Indulge in the irresistible flavors of restaurant-style Spinach and Artichoke Dip Al Forno, a creamy baked appetizer that's perfect for entertaining. This crowd-pleasing recipe combines fresh, wilted spinach and tender artichoke hearts with a rich blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, seasoned with garlic and a hint of spice. Topped with a golden layer of melted mozzarella and Parmesan, every bite is decadently cheesy and packed with savory goodness.

Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, wilt the spinach in batches, about 3-4 minutes. Remove, drain excess liquid, and chop finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts. Add red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or fresh vegetable slices.
