This spinach artichoke dip tastes similar to those served at chain restaurants in our area. This one uses refrigerated Alfredo sauce as its base to give it a wonderful creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 (10 ounce) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place garlic in a small baking dish.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle, then squeeze out softened garlic cloves from skins into a large bowl.
Step 4
Add artichoke hearts, spinach, Alfredo-style pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese to garlic cloves in the bowl; mix until well combined. Spread into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

This recipie was delicious! I have tried several spinach artichoke dips and have never been satisfied until this one. The alfredo sauce is the key- all the other recipies I’ve tried call for mayo (which makes the dip too tangy). I highly recommend this recipie!!
-
Served this at a party – it was wonderful! Next time I’ll try low-fat cream cheese and will sprinkle extra parmesan on top! Served with tortilla chips – excelletn!!
-
I served this at a party and it was gone within 15 minutes! This was the best recipe I’ve tried for spinach/artichoke dip.
-
I loved this recipe!It was so easy to make and it taste so good…It’s better then the spinach dip that I have ordered in restaurants!
-
Yummy appetizer! Just as good as in the restaurants!
-
This is a good dip.My entire family loves to get this when we eat out,but now I can make it at home. It had a little too much spinach in my opinion, so next time I think I will cut down on that.
-
Very rich and filling. Delicious!!
-
I made this for a party, and it was a huge hit! Very good! Very easy! Very quick! Very similar to the restaurant… subtle differences, but enough to say that one is not better then the other, but close enough to be happy that you’ve got the recipe (finally)!!!
-
Theses was good but was different then the one i order at our local resturant. I would make it again.It was a bit costly to make, but would be good for a party.
-
I took this dip to a cookout recently and in 5 minutes the bowl of dip was empty! Everyone loved it! And I had all kinds of requests for the recipe! Excellent and VERY easy to prepare.
-
This is the first time I used all recipies and I think I picked the best one in the bunch! This was by far the best spinach artichoke dip I’ve ever made. The alfredo sauce is the key!
-
Wonderful recipe! Glad it was included in recipes featured from NC from the newsletter. Being from NC, it made me proud. The only difference that I did to this recipe was to use the entire block of cream cheese rather than half. Other than that, wonderful. Served with baked Pita chips for a pot luck, and people went nuts! Definitely a keeper. I also used just artichoke hearts cleaned of choke and internal leaves(not with any of the leaves still attached like some of the canned varieties that still has the “choke”). Thanks for submitting this recipe to AllRecipes!
-
This was quick, easy and tasted great!
-
This recipe is the best! Even my 10 month old niece could not get enough of it. I made it for my boyfriend’s birthday party and it was gone in a flash. Only thing I would recommend is to uncover during the last ten minutes of cooking to give the top a nice golden color.
-
I’ve been looking for a spinach artichoke dip that was comparible to some restaurant styles for awhile. This one is BETTER! I used 8 oz. cream cheese instead and it was even creamier.
-
As I do with most recipes I modified this one a little… I used 16 oz of alfredo sauce, 2 cups mozzarella, the entire block of cream cheese, and 5 cloves of garlic. It came out WONDERFULLY! However, it was a tad bland. But my boyfriend thought that it was wonderful, and I’m used to the REALLY strong dips so it might have been just right, just not for me 😉 Next time I make it I will add more garlic and more parmesan… they both seem to spice it up a bit. Overall, this dip was great, and definitely a favorite of my family’s.
-
Fantastic!! I added a little extra mozz & parmesan, and a couple extra garlic cloves. I also used the entire block of Cream Cheese. I didn’t use refrigerated alfredo sauce, but opted for the whole jar of Classico Alfredo with Sun Dried Tomatoes. Everyone loved it — served it with toasted Italian bread. A definite keeper!!!
-
More than delicious, very creamy and simple to make.
-
This was so easy!! I didn’t thaw my spinich, and it was fine. We all loved it, especially my 2 year old. She ate it up!
-
I made this dip w/ the idea it would be good, but it was great. My husband has raved about it and he usually just makes a comment or two about a new recipe. I took it to a small party and was asked twice for the recipe. This is a keeper.
-
I took this to my friend’s Christmas party. EVERYone asked for the recipe. The ‘spinach dip connoissuers’, as they dubbed themselves, could not believe how good this was. They said I had to give it a 5.
-
I made this for a Christmas party and everyone loved it. My husband went back to get some more and there was hardly any left. I also made it for my work potluck and it was gone in less than ten minutes. It is so flavorful with the alfredo sauce, cream cheese and the other cheeses. Yummy!
-
I brought this dip to an office holiday party and everyone absolutley loved it!!!! It was a HUGE hit. I tweaked the recipe just a bit… I doubled the amount of cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and alfredo sauce. I also used an italian blend of shredded cheese instead of just mozzarella and doubled the amount of that as well. I also added about a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.
-
This was a HUGE hit for Thanksgiving appetizers – I would definitely make it again. And it was the first time I ever roasted my own garlic!
-
I just made this tonight, and it came out wonderful! I used a 16oz jar of Classico Roasted Garlic alfredo sauce, the whole 8oz block of cream cheeze, 2 cups of mozzarella, and a can of black olives, sliced. When it came out of the oven it was VERY creamy, so I let it sit and then had the most wonderful texture.
-
I have had many spinach and artichoke dips…..this is the best. It is easily made and will go extremely fast!!
-
I’m THRILLED to have found this recipe. The dip is exactly like the best restaurant spinach & artichoke dip! I used the whole 8 oz. of cream cheese and 16 oz of Five Brothers Alfredo Sauce. Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any)right in the baking dish then spread on a plate and microwave when you’re ready to indulge. I used Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips … yummy! It’s better than ordering it in a restaurant because you can pig in the whole serving by yourself. 🙂
-
This recipe was wonderful! I took it to a traditional African-American potluck. I received an overwhelming response. It was a big change from the soul food dishes that I normally prepare. I made a few changes, I used the whole 8 oz of cream cheese, I used 16 oz of Alfredo Sauce, every thing else I kept the same. I served it with restaurant style tortilla chips. It was delicious.
-
Wonderful! Unfortunately it was so good our family of four ate an entire serving of 8!!! Yum!
-
Wonderful!!! Better than at TGIFriday’s! Very easy.
-
Personally, I only thought this was OK. It was good, but it wasn’t the best I’ve had.
-
One word…yummmmmm!
-
I was expecting this recipe to taste like a dip I had at a nice Italian Restaurant. It wasn’t quite the same but it was still pretty good. I also only made half the recipe. That may have had some kind of effect on it. I’ll have to make the whole recipe for a party.
-
This dip Is just like resaurants and even better. People that didn’t like artichokes were raving . It was Fantastic.
-
This was sooooo good!!! Better than the resturants. Everybody thats reading this, you have to make this!!! I did what the other reviews said too. I put the whole block of cream cheese in and the whole jar of the 160z of Classico’s Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce. This is the best I’ve ever had!!!Thanks TerraD
-
I made this for the first time when my Pastor and his wife came for dinner. We all loved it and they ended up taking the left-overs home with them…and asked me to make it for a church dinner on Sunday. I used the 16 oz jar of alfredo sauce with sun dried tomatos and the whole 8 oz of cream cheese then mixed it all together before baking. It came out wonderful!!! Thanks for the recipe.
-
I made this recipe for my son’s 2nd birthday party and everybody loved it. I used the whole block of cream cheese it was delicious. Better then the resturants
-
This was sooooo good, better then the resturants.
I used the whole block of cream cheese, and when i took it out of the oven i mixed it up. Very very good -
I didn’t care for this recipe. I am a big fan of artichoke/spinich dip. I think the alfredo sauce I chose didn’t help matters, it was garlic flavored, perhaps too much garlic… I didn’t think that was possible. Regardless, the flavor just wasn’t quite right…
-
Very easy. Very tasty. Makes a ton of dip and freezes really well. The second time I made it I added some salsa but I liked it much better without. This will be a staple for holidays and parties.
-
Delicious. Very creamy and tasty. I used the refrigerated Alfredo Sauce as called for. We went through two bags of tortilla chips finishing it off.
-
We love ordering this out and decided to try and make it for a party. After having made this a few times, I’m incredibly impressed by how easy and popular this recipe is. It is the first thing to disappear every time we take it, which we do often! (Added 2/18/04: If you want to make a slightly heathier version, use the “Heart-Healthy Fettuccini Alfredo” recipe available on Oprah.com. It’s made with beans and is very good by itself and in this dish makes little perceptable taste change.)
-
Updated 1/27/11: I still make this all the time, but I’ve made it even easier because I don’t bake it anymore. I just mix all the ingredients in a casserole dish and microwave it until it’s hot. Everything melts together quickly and it tastes just like it’s been in the oven, but takes a fraction of the time. Original Review 3/19/02: This dip was incredible and was so unbelievably easy! I made this for a bridal shower and everyone wanted the recipe. The bride’s aunt wanted to take the leftovers home with her but I was selfish and kept them for myself.:) I used fresh spinach that I steamed and finely chopped. I just layered everything in the pan the night before, covered in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge until I needed to cook it. I popped it in the oven and added about 15 minutes to the cook time (because it was cold) and it came out perfectly! We served it in a hollowed out bread bowl and it was great! The only change I will make in the future is to add more garlic (but we like garlic in my family). I will be making more of this for myself! Thanks for the great recipe, Terra!
-
I love the texture of this dip. It does not harden when it cools and it tastes great!
-
A huge hit with the family! Even better the second day after reheating!
-
This recipe is always a crowd pleaser in my home! It’s become a holiday and special event staple that my guests always request.
-
This got rave reviews at a recent party–some said it was the best spinach & artichoke dip they had tried. I also used the entire box of cream cheese and mixed everything before I baked it. I had to add about 10 minutes to the baking time, because I made it ahead of time and refrigerated it.
-
I did not enjoy this recipe. It did not taste anything like the type I’ve had at a restaurant. All I could taste was the alfredo sauce.
-
I thought this recipe was horrible. I made it for work and everyone liked it but me. Will not make this again.
-
I have made this recipe twice and the second time I added a lot more garlic and used less spinach. I also used marinated artichokes the second time and it added a nice flavor. It was the first thing to go at a potluck but I think I may add the entire block of cream cheese next time to soften the alfredo taste. Great recipe and highly recommended!
-
I made this for a sports event and both my husband and 9 year old son loved it!!
-
Not at all like the one at Ruby Tuesday’s. It was okay if you really like artichokes. I wasn’t crazy about it.
-
EXCELLENT DIP!!! I tried an artichoke spinach dip recipe once before and my husband told me that I should never touch an artichoke again :). I tried this recipe and his eyes literally lit up! This recipe was so easy to make, that I couldn’t believe it. I used store bought garlic that was already chopped and also added a little extra salt. (I eliminated the need to bake garlic first and just mixed the garlic in with all the other ingredients). It truly tasted like an Applebee’s dip….or even better. My entire prep. time was approx. 5 minutes. The suggested cook time was absolutely perfect. My husband asked me to make this recipe for the next food day at his job!!!! This is truly a 5 star recipe.
-
Great Recipe – I used freshly made alfredo sauce instead of jar
-
Very good recipe. I took one reviewers suggestion and used less spinach, also less artichokes and half a block of cream cheese.
EVERYONE raved about it, even people who don’t like artichokes and spinach. I will make this again. Thanks -
everyone raved about this recipe!! i added more roasted garlic than it called for which just added to the taste.
-
Very tasty and easy to make, I’ve passed the recipe along to all that have tried it!
-
I loved this recipe. I added a little crushed red pepper for spice.
-
Very good. I did use the whole block of cream cheese, and added a bit of crushed red pepper; we like our food spicy. Only used 1/2 the package of spinach, and it was even almost too much. Overall, very yummy! Served with sliced French baguette.
-
This was okay, it was too bland, it did not remind me of restaurant style artichoke/spinach dip.
-
Very good & very, very easy. The Alfredo sauce does the trick!!
I added 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper for an added kick.
-
Everyone still talks about it.
-
I LOVED this! I served it when my parents came for dinner, and we all burned the roof of our mouths because we couldn’t wait to eat it! DELICIOUS!
-
This tasted great! We served it with blue corn chips and my husband and daughter couldn’t put it down! This is a definite keeper!
-
Awesom recipe! My boyfriend brought the leftovers to work for lunch the next day, now if I go into his office without bringing them some I hear about it. Much better than restaurant dip! I like to serve it with thick pumpernickel!
-
This recipe is fantastic! It has a great base to make changes based on individual preferences. I used homemade alfredo sauce (heavy cream, butter, romano and parmesan with chicken buillon for flavor) along with adding sliced water chestnuts instead of artichoke’s. I also used three cheeses; romano, parmesan, and mozzerella. Thanks for the great recipe! My family (all italian) loves it!
-
College students went crazy for this! I served it at a party of mine, and it was all anyone could talk about! It was great, I didn’t change a thing.
-
I went out on a limb for a party I was hosting and did not try this before serving…thank God it got rave reviews! Thank you!
-
Overall pretty good but next time I will cut back on the garlic. It was a little too much for our taste. Thanks for sharing.
-
I made this last night and it turned out great. I loved it. So creamy. I wasn’t thinking when making it and baked 4 garlic heads…not cloves but before scaring away any vampires I realized what I was doing and made it with 4 garlic cloves. It turned out great and I hoarded it to myself. I didn’t want to share it was so good. Next batch I will share. 😉
-
I have been looking for a good artichoke & spinach dip for a very long time. This one is it! My family loves it and says that it’s better than the one at the restaurants. Thanks for sharing this.
-
My husband and I went to O’Charlies’ for dinner one night. He wanted to get the spanish and artachoke dip, I thought gross! I tried it and loved it. Found this recipe and made it one night when we were expecting company over. There was none left! Everyone loved it! This one is a keeper!
-
This dish is delicous!!!!! Everyone wanted the recipe thanks.
-
This is absoultely DELICIOUS. I serve it with pita triangles. I’ve made it about 6 times since I got the recipe a few months ago, and each time my guests all agree that it’s better than what you get in the restaurants. I go ahead and use the whole cream cheese package just to make it easier. I also mix up all the cheeses to make it easier to put in the pan, and I heat the cream cheese a bit in the microwave to soften and make it easier to mix. Yummm!!!!
-
Was a great hit with friends & family! I would definitely make this again!
-
VERY yummy, was a hit at the party!
-
This was great… Nice and Cheesy. If you like cheese, this is for you!!! WONDERFUL- thanks
-
I made this recipe for a party, and it was a big hit. It was very easy to make and roasting the garlic gave it a very good flavor. I will definitely add this to my permanent file!
-
Great recipe. Easier than some others I have tried, and although it takes awhile to roast the garlic, it’s well worth the added flavor. I forgot the parmesan cheese, and it was still terrific, and was gone pretty quickly. i served it with tortilla chips for a housewarming party.
-
This recipe was so easy to follow and yummy! My guests loved it!
-
This turned out wonderfully, but I did make some adjustments…I used three jars of marinated artichokes (about 18oz I think) and the whole package of cream cheese. Also, I only used half of the spinach, and not quite all the alfredo sauce. I brolied it a few minutes on high at the end to make the top nice and pretty. I added some chopped tomatoes to the top for garnish. Served with tortilla chips. It got rave reviews.
-
Had this dish once at a restaurant and fell in love with it. Decided to make it with my friends one night and it turned out perfect! We couldn’t find artichoke so we left it out but it still tasted really good. If us college students can do it, I bet you can too.
-
I made this dip for a party I had recently and everyone wanted the recipe. It was a huge hit! The garlic took a long time but it was worth it in the end. I will keep this one around!
I added feta cheese to mine but that is just b/c I love cheese 🙂 -
Fabulous recipe!!! Every person loved it at the party I attended, even a few people who claim to dislike anything with vegs. Thanks for the excellent recipe – quick/easy and great taste, you can’t ask for more.
-
This was very good. Everyone loved it and it went really fast at the party I brought it to. I think 30 min. is too long for the garlic, 15-20 min. should be fine. I would also recommend mixing the cheeses and the alfredo sauce together before adding it to the garlic, spinach, and artichoke. I added the cream cheese last, and it was difficult to get it mixed in really well with the rest of the ingredients.
-
This was one recipe that I did not tweak and I will DEFINITELY be making it again! I served it with some sliced baguettes and it went over at Thanksgiving Dinner fabulously!
-
Yum! I used the entire 8 oz of cream cheese, marinated artichokes and 1/2 jar of Bertolli creamy alfredo sauce. Don’t be afraid to use all 4 cloves of garlic. That zip is needed. Once the dip was heated through, I removed the lid & broiled for a couple of minutes. Gave it a nice brown bubbly top. Rather expensive to make, so save it to treat yourself or the people you really like.
-
I didn’t bother to cook the garlic, instead I just added garlic powder which saved some time and effort. Everyone that tried it loved it, even those who said they hated spinach and artichokes! You should definitely make this if you want to be the most popular at a pot-luck!
-
This was wonderful. I also used 8 oz of cream cheese and 16 oz of Alfredo Sauce. Quests devoured this and asked for the recipe. Very easy, make sure the cream cheese is softened, the water well squeezed out of the spinach and you can just mix all ingredients together. I made it the day before – and baked for 50 minutes – Delicious!!!!
-
simply wonderful. Remember to drain the spinach and soften the cream cheese. I found that it wasn’t really neccesary to use all of the spinach. If you don’t like chunky, use a blender to puree the artichokes.
-
A really big hit — everyone asked for the recipe! The only thing I did differently was to mix everything together instead of layering — I served with bagel slices and crostini. A keeper!
-
Wonderful! Best homemade spinach dip recipe I have tried!
-
This is easy and so good. I added a little extra garlic and more artichokes. Yummy!
-
great recipe…everyone loved it…i skipped the garlic and it still tastes great!
-
I like more cheese
-
We used the food processor to chop the spinach and artichokes; then we folded that mixture into the sauce, cheeses, etc. We only used a few tablespoons of the parmesan because the sauce was already quite rich. We served it warm with toasted sourdough bread, cut into small triangles. It was delicious!
-
Made this for a holiday party, and it was a hit! Super-easy and very good.
-
20-30 mins was too much time in the oven for the garlic to roast…next time will finely chop the garlic. The dip was great and even better the next day when reheated. I served w/ nacho chips, but next time will serve it in a bread bowl with chips and breadsticks also. Will definitely make again:)
-
Oh, this was great! I made it for christmas eve appetizers and my husband and I practically ate the whole thing in one sitting.
The only thing I would change is I would not get the marinated artickoes again. They were too salty and I would also chop them up. I didn’t care too much for the big chunks of artickokes.
I also took some of the others advice and mixed all the cheeses and the sauce together and used the whole thing of cream chesse. I also added some pepper and garlic to the cheese mixture. Then I put mozzerella on top. For the cheese mixture I used an italian mix of cheese.
Also, next time I make it I will mix everything together. I like it that way.
thanks for a great recipe -
This was really nice. I had to make the alfredo sauce from scratch as I can’t find it anywhere here in England. I served it with deep fried artichoke hearts (dipped drained canned artichokes in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs before deep frying them) and they were gone quickly. Served it with french bread later. Definitely a keeper.
