Made this last nite...per my Daughter's request. (When Lynn is gone for TDY...we fix things he hates

)  It tastes almost like the Artichoke Spinach dip and it is really easy too.


This is the latest maters from the garden yesterday.  Just wanted to share these.


  • 14 oz of Orecchiette Pasta ( or short pasta)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup of Chopped Onion
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic ( Minced)
  • 1 Cup of Sour Cream
  • 4 oz of Cream Cheese ( Room Temperature)
  • 3/4 Cup of Parmesan Cheese (I used a 1 1/2 cup pkg)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice + Zest
  • 10 Oz of Spinach ( Make sure to squeeze excess moisture, after it has been thawed of course)
  • 13.5 Can of Artichoke Hearts rinsed and chopped
  • 1 Cup of Mozzarella (I used a 2 cup pkg)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon of Pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven To 425
  2. Cook pasta according to the box. Keep 1/4 Cup of the Pasta Water before you drain the cooked pasta.
  3. Heat oil in pan and cook onions for 8 – 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
  4. In a large bowl – Mix Sour Cream, Cream Cheese, Parmesan, Lemon (juice and zest), onions, and garlic. Add Pasta and mix.
  5. Stir in spinach, artichokes, 1/4 cup of cooking liquid from the pasta, salt, pepper, and 1/2 Cup of Mozzarella
  6. Place mixture into greased 2.5 – 3 qt casserole dish and place the rest of mozzarella cheese on top
  7. Place in the oven till golden brown on top – about 10 – 15 minutes.
  8. Enjoy!
This is great to take for a pot luck too!  Thanks for looking!

That sounds wonderful! Looks like only thing the Traditional Dip has that you didn't include is Mayo. I think I would add a couple sprigs of Fresh Thyme Leaves, minced and maybe some chopped Green Onions. Saved for future consumption...JJ

The green onions do sound like they would add a nice bite.  Hmmm....may try that next time too.  Thanks Chef Jimmy!
