MAKING THE HOT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP
All you need to make this recipe is:
- 8 oz fat free cream cheese, room temperature
- 10 oz frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
- 1/2 cup Fage 0% fat yogurt

You need to make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature so it will mix evenly with the other ingredients.
You also need to defrost your frozen spinach and strain all the excess water out so that your hot spinach and artichoke dip is not too watery.
Mix all of the ingredients, except for the paprika, together in a bowl and then add to an oven safe bowl. Top with the paprika
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
