Olive Garden Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip

http://community.tasteofhome.com/forums/t/689582.aspx Olive Garden Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip 1 c. chopped artichoke hearts 1/2 c. spinach 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 t. salt 1/8 t. garlic powder dash black pepper Boil spinach and artichoke hearts in 1 c. water for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain in colander. Heat cream cheese in microwave til creamy, add spinach and artichokes and stir well. (mash veggies) Add remaining ingredients and combine. Serve with crackers,chips,or toasted bread. Review TIP:Instead of using 1c. water to boil I acutally just bought a can of artichokes in brine and used the brine to boil the spinach and art. in. Gives it even more of a flavor. This is a WONDERFUL recipe and I highly recommend it.
