SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP MAC 'N' CHEESE



Spinach and Artichoke Dip Mac 'n' Cheese image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
One 5-ounce container baby spinach (about 8 heaping cups)
One 9-ounce box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to the package instructions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the macaroni and set aside.
  • Wipe out the pot. Add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until it begins to toast, about 2 minutes. (The flour will form a thick paste, but that's okay; just keep it moving in the pot.) Whisk in the milk and the reserved macaroni water and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thick like gravy, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the Swiss cheese, sour cream, 2/3 cup of the mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Once the cheeses have melted, add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in the artichoke hearts, macaroni, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a broiler-safe 2-quart baking dish.
  • Stir together the remaining 1/3 cup mozzarella and 3 tablespoons Parmesan in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the macaroni. Broil until golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes.

4-CHEESE SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



4-Cheese Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

This is my first submitted recipe. I have tried many other spinach dip recipes from this website, but felt like something was missing or they were too "Alfredo-ey." So I modified the recipes I found to eliminate the Alfredo sauce and substituted in the cheeses I had on hand. Voila! A delicious recipe that I felt proud to share with my fellow cooks. Serve with chips or veggies. I hope you enjoy!

Provided by JupiterReigns

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
2 ounces horseradish Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, and any marinade oil that remains after chopping them. Add onion, garlic, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring regularly so it doesn't burn on the bottom, until spinach has wilted and mixture is wet, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, processed cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Stir occasionally and allow to simmer, uncovered, until cheeses have melted and some of the water from the spinach has cooked off, about 3 more minutes. This allows the herbs and spices to infuse their flavor into the dip. Serve hot.

CREAM CHEESE, BACON AND SPINACH DIP



Cream Cheese, Bacon and Spinach Dip image

This is always a hit at parties, and is frequently requested by friends and relations. I got it from my mother many years ago. And if, by some weird chance, you have any leftover, it's great on toast in the morning for breakfast. I serve it with plain crackers and/or carrot and celery crudites.

Provided by Sayana

Categories     Spreads

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

250 g cream cheese, Spreadable
3 -4 slices bacon, rind removed
80 g frozen spinach

Steps:

  • Grill bacon until well-cooked, but not crispy. If you do this on a rack above an oven tray, much of the fat will drip away. The time will vary according to the type of bacon. Cool bacon for a few minutes, then chop into very small pieces.
  • Microwave frozen spinach according to directions on the package. Drain any liquid.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well-blended, then transfer to a nice serving bowl.
  • Cover with glad wrap and cool in the fridge. If you can prepare this a few hours ahead of time, the flavours will intensify, but it is fine straight away.
