Olive Garden Hot Artichoke dip is the perfect food to bring to a party. This is a favorite dip at the Olive Garden, featuring a variety of cheeses, artichokes, spinach and so much more.† Well, after so many requests for this one, I had to go ahead and try this dip for myself. Quite honestly, this was as wonderful as so many of ya’ll suggested. This dish has become a party favorite at my house, it is easy to make, and tastes so good.

Olive Garden Hot Artichoke Dip

1 8 ounce package light cream cheese (I like the texture better, but regular is fine)
1 14 ounce can Progresso artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped spinach (frozen or steamed)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (do not use Miracle Whip)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup romano cheese (or you can use all parmesan)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp. dried basil (or 1 Tbsp. fresh basil)
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste

Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, romano cheese, garlic, basil, and garlic salt. Mix well. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach (be careful to drain this well) and mix until blended. Store in a container until you are ready to use. Spray a pie pan with Pam, pour in dip, and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is browned. Serve with toasted bread.
