How to Make Ina Garten’s Spinach Artichoke Dip

Mix the ingredients into a mixing bowl.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and garlic. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Stir in the spinach and chopped artichokes until evenly distributed. Add mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese. Transfer the dip mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 3: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top. Let cool slightly before serving with crackers, chips, or toasted bread.

Ina Garten Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe Tips

  • Drain spinach well – Excess water can make the dip runny.
  • Use quality cheese – Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Make it spicy – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a kick.
  • Double it – This recipe easily doubles if you’re feeding a crowd.

Storing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Let leftovers cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: While best fresh, you can freeze it before baking. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual servings for 30–60 seconds.

What to Serve with Ina Garten Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

Ina’s Spinach & Artichoke Dip Recipe Faqs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen? Yes! Sauté 5–6 cups of fresh spinach until wilted, then chop and squeeze out excess moisture.

Can I prep this ahead of time? Absolutely. Assemble everything, cover, and refrigerate. Just bake before serving.

Can I use canned artichokes? Yes, but drain them well. Marinated artichokes give more flavor, but canned will work in a pinch.
