Otherwise, you might devour it all yourself. Ingredients 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish 1 medium onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 pounds spinach, cleaned, trimmed, and coarsely chopped ½ cup milk 6 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco ¾ cup shredded mozzarella Coarse salt and ground pepper Baguette slices, breadsticks, or crackers, for serving Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add spinach in two additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid. In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with accompaniments, as desired. Minh + Wass Cook's Notes The recipe can be assembled through step two up to three days ahead, then covered and refrigerated; it can also be served as a side dish. Two 10-ounce packages of frozen spinach can be substituted for the fresh. Thaw according to box instructions, drain well, and chop. Print
