I love the combination of  fresh spinach and artichoke and this creamy spinach artichoke dip is absolutely marvelous sizzling right out of the oven! I have made it as healthy as can be–no mayo, or cream, or cream cheese, or sour cream or any of those ingredients I have seen in most recipes for this dip. Instead, I use my  simple béchamel sauce recipe (click here) free of saturated fats, made with wholegrain flour to boot and I just add a small amount of grated gruyère cheese to finish it up. I intentionally use a very flavorful cheese so that I can use it sparingly and still achieve that wonderful cheesy-ness! You can serve it sizzling hot, right out of the oven, or at room temperature, with wholegrain pita chips, or thinly sliced whole wheat baguette. Perfect for a Superbowl party!!

    Made this tonight and I absolutely LOVE it! I’m digging the artichokes in there! I added cauliflour to the sauce because your “sneaky mac and cheese” recepie is so dang delicious- turned out great!
