Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can artichoke hearts
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dip bakes evenly and becomes bubbly and golden brown.
- Drain the can of artichoke hearts thoroughly and then chop them into small pieces. This will help distribute the artichokes throughout the dip.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a fork to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, garlic powder, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dip is a uniform consistency.
- Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Transfer the dip mixture into a baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top for a nice presentation.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help prevent burns and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Baked Artichoke Dip Creamy Parmesan Rosa warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged grated cheese. The texture and taste are significantly better.
- Make sure to drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in your dip. Pat them dry with paper towels for best results.
- For a golden, crispy top, consider sprinkling some extra Parmesan or breadcrumbs before the final baking stage.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if you're cooking it directly from cold.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like chopped spinach, crispy bacon bits, or red pepper flakes to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Serve immediately after baking for the most luxurious, melty texture that will have everyone coming back for more!
