The Olive Garden Spinach-Artichoke has been recently updated, and we want to share this recipe with you.
Who doesn’t love going to the Olive Garden? My local Olive Garden is simply packed all of the time on the weekend. You better get there early when you go. Sometimes I have been known to enjoy a drink and an appetizer in the bar while my table gets ready.
What makes the Olive Garden Spinach-Artichoke Dip so special? It might be the five different types of cheese that are used in the sauce. Five different types of cheese: Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Cream Cheese, and Mozzarella all combine together to make a flavorful sauce that you are going to love.
I am serving this with fresh baguettes that have been sliced thin and have been buttered and toasted in the oven. You won’t want to miss out on these, I know you could enjoy this with breadsticks, but I promise the way you should enjoy these are the small pieces of toast, they are so crispy and well buttery.
For this recipe, I am using frozen spinach that is already chopped. For the artichokes, I like to use the marinated artichokes, but I believe the Olive Garden uses plain ones. I am intentionally deviating, as I think the marinated artichokes offer a little more flavor.
