This Italian Spinach Artichoke Dip is a classic found on restaurant menus and appetizer tables worldwide. It can be served for casual patio parties, football soirees as well as a more formal gatherings as a featured starter. It has universal appeal.

Spinach dip can take many flavor twists an turns. Whether it’s the classic chilled spinach dip we all love using Knorr vegetable soup mix, or if you choose to give it a spicy edge with pepper jack cheese and bacon. You can also give it a nice kicked-up taste when you add roasted poblano peppers to spinach dip. This Italian spinach artichoke dip pairs two classic ingredients that never disappoint.

This dreamy dip is irresistible, and it’s no wonder it shows up on so many restaurant appetizer menus and party platters. You’re guaranteed to knock the ball out of the park every time you serve it. I rarely have a party, that I don’t serve dip or some sort of variation of spinach dip. It’s a home run kind of dish that guests always love.

  • To this spinach dip, you can mix-in crumbled cooked bacon or pancetta..
  • This dip can be fully assembled, covered and chilled, then baked just before serving.
  • You can use plain cream cheese or mascarpone cheese in this dip with no other adjustments needed.
  • Likewise, you can use plain sour cream or creme fraiche interchangeably. Creme Fraiche can be a little pricey, but, sometimes, it’s worth the splurge. It’s not quite as tart as sour cream and has a buttery texture. Either will work.
