Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold the sautéed spinach into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, slices of bread, or fresh vegetables.
