If there’s one recipe that I’ve been meaning to share with you guys over the past 3 years, it’s this one. And for the most part, it’s because as many bloggers know, the problem with blogging certain recipes is that sometimes the dish needs to be served hot, before there’s any time to snap a few photos. Take into account the time needed to adjust camera settings, fiddle with the light source, ensure all props are in place (none of these things are ever right even after test shots are taken when the food is still cooking), and essentially the dish starts getting cold by the time the photos are finished…every one of us is all too familiar with eating luke warm dinners. But this doesn’t fly when you’ve got a room full of hungry people eying the steaming and bubbly spinach and artichoke dip that’s just emerged from the oven – we all know that.
So in honor of the Northeast dominated Super Bowl next weekend, I decided to make the sacrifice (ha!) to remake this dip and blog about it for you because you NEED this dip at your party. Now, I can count on one hand how many times I’ve actually watched the Superbowl (for the record, I just don’t get football), but I’m definitely all about understanding the snacks that go with it. This old-standby dip is kicked up a few notches with a secret ingredient: alfredo sauce. I almost couldn’t believe it the first time my friend Andrea brought this to a party and revealed her secret but it’s true! The alfredo sauce adds to the creaminess of the dip without having to use mayonnaise and with few other ingredients and minimal effort, I can assure you that this dip will be gone in less time than a Super Bowl commercial break.
This Spinach Artichoke Dip is a restaurant style favorite that you can oh so simply make at home with just a few easy ingredients. It's a perfect Super Bowl snack or holiday appetizer that everyone is going to flip for!

Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 oz or 15 oz ) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
12oz (about 1 1/4 cups) jarred alfredo sauce (roasted garlic if you can find it; low fat works well too)
1cup (about 2 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3cup grated Parmesan cheese
8oz (about 1 cup) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
In an medium bowl, stir all of the ingredients together until very well-combined and the spinach is well-distributed throughout the mixture. Spread the mixture out evenly in an 8″x8″ baking dish.

I just made spinach artichoke dip yesterday, so yummy and definitely one of my favorites!
While I love college football, I’m not really into pro football. I enjoy watching it but there is never a game I absolutely have to watch. I’m with you, I mostly enjoy the Superbowl because of the food that comes along with it 🙂
i actually just had spinach & artichoke dip on sunday, so this looks fantastic. spin dip (as we used to call it in college, thanks applebee’s) is one of my favorite apps (errr, appetizers. again, thanks applebee’s.) 🙂 love the alfredo sauce addition. it totally makes sense.
I made this for the Super Bowl yesterday, added fresh garlic and used the light Alfredo sauce – it was SO good. I love that it doesn’t use mayonnaise. This will be my go-to recipe from now on!

Yummy! I can’t wait to try this recipe this week!
This looks delicious! I have some baby spinach sitting in the fridge (getting old). Have you tried it with fresh and prefer frozen?
Also, do you mean 1 cup of shredded cheese or 8oz of cheese, shredded?

Can you substitute the yogurt with something else?
Tamie: Check the original recipe.
Can you also cook this in a saucepan on top of the stove instead of in oven?
Lynda: I don’t know – I’ve never tried it.
