THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

BAKED SPINACH-ARTICHOKE PASTA
Toss spinach-artichoke dip with pasta, and it feels right at home on the dinner table. This recipe, which nixes the traditional cream cheese for a blend of salty Parmesan and heavy cream, is prepared on the stovetop and requires only 10 minutes of active cooking before it's slid into the oven. As with any baked pasta, the key is to cook the shells until pointedly shy of al dente and to toss them with a sauce that seems excessively wet, as the pasta will tenderize and the sauce will thicken in the oven. These ingredients skew classic, but there is infinite room to riff: Swap in chopped kale or mustard greens in place of the spinach, experiment with cheese combinations, stir in mustard or caramelized onions or top with crumbled bacon.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Turn down to medium-high, and cook the pasta according to package instructions until 2 minutes short of al dente (the pasta will finish cooking in the oven). Drain and reserve.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach little by little until wilted, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chopped artichokes.
- Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the Parmesan until melted. Remove from the heat then carefully stir in the cooked pasta, or transfer to a large bowl to mix together, if necessary. The liquid might appear wet and loose, but it will thicken up as it bakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pasta to a 2-quart casserole dish or individual casseroles or ramekins. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes, if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Heat broiler. Bring 1/2 cup water and a large pinch of salt to a simmer in a large skillet with straight sides over medium-high heat. Add spinach, a fistful at a time, letting it wilt slightly before adding more and using tongs or a heatproof rubber spatula to toss as you go. Continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until all of the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- Drain artichoke hearts and press out as much liquid as you can. Coarsely chop artichoke hearts and spinach and place in a large bowl. Add garlic, Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, and 1/2 tsp. salt and mix well; season with pepper. Gently mix in cream cheese, taking care not to fully break up pieces. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Arrange slices of bread on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and broil until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side. Drizzle 1 side of each toast with oil and spoon spinach mixture on top, packing it on and taking care to cover edges so they don't burn. Cut 2 slices of cheese in half. Place a slice and a half of cheese on top of each toast, arranging so that spinach mixture is covered.
- Broil toasts until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 2 minutes (keep a watchful eye on toasts as no two broilers are the same and you don't want the toasts to burn).

SPINACH ARTICHOKE BABKA

Steps:
- For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the milk in a liquid measuring cup and set aside until bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Add the eggs, vanilla, yeast mixture, lemon zest and nutmeg; stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until soft and smooth, about 5 minutes. Knead in the butter in three additions, dusting the dough with flour if it is too sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- For the filling: Combine the artichoke hearts, spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
- For the topping: Whisk the flour, panko, a pinch salt and some pepper in a medium bowl, then work in the butter with your fingers until the mixture is sandy and chunky. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley and set aside.
- For the assembly: Cut the dough in half with a bench scraper or chef's knife. Using a rolling pin, roll each half into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Using an offset spatula, spread the filling on both dough rectangles, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella all over the filling on each dough rectangle. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Starting from the long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Unwrap the logs and cut each in half lengthwise with a bench scraper or chef's knife. For each babka, twist the 2 halves together a few times, starting from the middle. Coat two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and line each with parchment, leaving an overhang on the 2 longer sides so you can pull the babka out of the pan after baking. Place a babka snuggly in each pan and sprinkle with the topping. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle the melted butter all over the babkas. Bake until browned, about 45 minutes.
- Let sit 10 minutes, then remove the babkas from the pans and remove the parchment. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH TORTA RECIPE
Provided by thatjerseygirl
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 375-degrees F. In a nonstick medium frying pan, heat 1 Tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook about 1 minute. Add the artichokes, lemon juice, water and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover and cook until the artichokes are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated. Let cool. 2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spinach for 2 minutes. Drain, refresh with cold water, squeeze out as much water as possible, and finely chop. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the half-and-half. Season with 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the cheese, spinach, basil, prosciutto and the artichoke mixture and stir well. 4. Choose a baking dish or roasting pan large enough to hold an 8-inch nonstick frying pan. Add hot water to the dish to cover about one-quarter of the frying pan's depth to create a water bath. 5. Heat the remaining 1 Tbs oil in the 8-inch pan over medium-high heat until a drop of the egg mixture sputters when added. Add the egg mixture and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. With a spatula, lift the torta away from the edges of the pan to gauge its progress; when you see that the torta has browned nicely all around, remove the pan from the heat and immediately put it in the water bath to stop the browning. Put the pan and water bath into the oven and bake until the torta is firm in the center, about 40 to 45 minutes. 6. Remove the frying pan from the water bath and invert the torta on a cutting board. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into 1-inch chunks and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh artichokes and spinach will give your torta the best flavor. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichoke hearts, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't overcook the artichokes. Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this torta, so be sure to use a cheese that you like. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese would be a good choice.
- Don't skimp on the spices. The spices in this recipe help to give the torta its flavor. Be sure to use fresh spices and don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations.
- Let the torta cool before slicing. This will help to prevent the torta from falling apart.
Conclusion:
This artichoke and spinach torta is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this artichoke and spinach torta a try. You won't be disappointed!
