Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, chop the cooked spinach into smaller pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Fold in the chopped spinach, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined.
Transfer the spinach mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
