1 package (8-ounces) Philadelphia cream cheese

1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup frozen spinach, drained and chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise, NOT miracle whip

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1/2 teaspoon basil, dried

1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, grated or shredded

salt and pepper

Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add the artichoke hearts and the spinach (make sure to get out all the excess water) and mix until blended. Store in a container until you are ready to use. Spray the oven dish with Pam (or similar), pour in the dip, and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is browned. Serve with toasted bread, tortilla chips, pita chips, etc.
