I can't say enough about this recipe. It was a little time consuming, but very easy to make. I forgot to chop the spinach before adding to the cheese sauce, so I transfered everything into my food processor and the problem was solved. I left out the artichoke (husband's personal preference), added crab, and served in a bread bowl (this recipe is enough for two bread bowls). Literally, this dip was gone within 5 minutes of me setting them down on the table. The cayanne pepper added a pleasent kick to the dip. I'm craving it as I type. If you like spinach dip, try this one, you will not be disappointed.




very good but a little dry

this was very good but it was a little dry - part of it is because the "diet" ricotta is not quite as creamy as the regular stuff - for a lite dip this is excellent. I substituted panko for the bread crumbs which worked nicely but does not brown quite as quickly in the oven.

This is my go to recipe for gatherings and parties. I use frozen artichokes and spinach -- drained of course. I haved served this with tortilla chips, bread, and even veggies. I get compliments on this dish all the time.

Too cheesy and consistency in the mouth was off putting. Would take a lot of puttering with this recipe to make it great. I would never make this again. I actually made it for company and didn't serve it--I was so disappointed in this.

Everytime that I make this recipe, my guests go crazy. I always make extra to keep for the house when make it for company. It is so tasty that you can't stop eating it. Best thing is to make it the day before and then warm it up before guests arrive.

I have had 3 parties in the last year, and I make this dip everytime. It is great. Also, right before I put the dip in the oven I top it off with some cheddar cheese...Great!

This is the best spinach and artichoke dip that I have ever had!! I took it to a party and it was the best thing there. The only modification that I might make is upping the spinach. Otherwise, fantastic!!!

We order this at restaurants a lot..but we all agreed this recipe is the best we have had. For me, I need a helpre so that I can stay by the pan and add things a s I need them. If I were making this alone I would need to prep everything ahead and line it up. The results are amazing. I am sure this will become a tradition for holidays and parties at our house!

I made this recipe for a family St. Patrick's day gathering, served with store bought tostito strips and everyone raved. Slightly time consuming to prepare but well worth the effort. I would use a slight bit more cayenne next time around.

This dish takes a bit more time and effort than a regular party dip but is definitely worth it! I made a double batch for this year's super bowl party and it was completely gone within 20 minutes, only wish I'd made more.

This was a great dip but I thought it would be better with a little less spinach and to coarsley chop the spinach. I made this for our superbowl party and it was a hige hit!

I made this for the first time for company and it was fabulous. People ate it up like it was going out of style. It's not nearly as greasy as getting this in a restaurant so I felt better about eating it in large quantities. :)

After I finished the recipe I found it to be bland and gluey tasting. I dumped in another 1/2 cup of parmissan cheese and 8 ounces of grated mozzarella and it was much better. It might even be decent on top of pasta.

This recipe was awesome! I love dips with lots of veggies and this has tons of artichokes and spinach. It wasn't as heavy as some artichoke dips I've had. Huge hit!

I used a little less artichoke and a little more spinach than the recipe called for (just because I really like spinach), which worked out well. I used baby spinach, which made it easier because I didn't have to chop it up before adding it. I served mine with pita chips, it was great!

I just made this for my superbowl party. What a hit with everyone there. Wasn't sure what he meant for cayenne pepper, but I used about six shakes of tabasco. What a great flavor that added to the recipe. I also used 2% milk, and instead of two cans of artichokes hearts, I used one can of regular artichokes hearts and one jar of marinated artichokes hearts (drained). It was absolutely delicious!!!

This dip is a nice change to the much used spinach dip of a few years ago, plus with leftovers, I just added some milk & used the boat moter to puree it, than it bacame a wonderful soup.




Terrible

User: Sherrie from Azusa, CA    User Rating:
The worst part was that the prep. time was at least double, not to mention the baking time, which was more than double. It took 2 large saute pans, 1 large mixing bowl and a baking dish to prepare. Way too much clean up. I also question the use of Jack Cheese in this particular recipe. It should have been mozzarella if anything.

This is just as good or even better then the spinach and artichoke dips you get at any restaurant. I highly recommend. However I didn't fry my own chips, I used veggies and bought tortilla chips for dipping. Just as good.

I gave this one five stars but I gave my actual dip I made a 3.5 ;). I first burned the flour and oil because it said heat on medium...so I had to start over and keep it on low. It turned out great but I went a little crazy on the Cayenne pepper and added way too much. Hey, I'm still learning. But it was delish despite the Cayenne. ALSO, SAVE TIME by using FROZEN SPINACH (thaw it and drain it well). I didn't make my tortilla chips either. Sorry Emeril, some of us don't have the time!

I was really disappointed in this spinach dip. I added five times the amount of cheese to try to make the dip even tastier and I still thought the dip tasted bland. I had an easier recipe at home I should have just stuck with which is a lot more satisfying.

We made this recipe before having some friends over, and the prep is definitely a little complicated -- I wouldn't recommend making this if you're in a hurry or have a lot of other dishes to prepare! Otherwise, we prepared it exactly as recommended in the recipe and we tasted it just before it was ready to go into the oven. We both thought it needed more cheese, so we doubled the recommended amount for both cheeses. It tasted great and everyone liked it, but I think I'll try making other artichoke and spinach dips before coming back to make this again.
