Artichoke and Spinach Dip

This is a delicious party dip. You can make more and keep on hand in the freezer for a last minute gathering.

Ingredients:
1 cup packed fresh spinach
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
4 cloves garlic
crushed 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, plus more as needed
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts
Tortilla chips, for serving

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place sour cream, Parmesan, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, the cream cheese, garlic, pepper and hot sauce in a food processor. Process until just blended but still slightly lumpy. Add artichokes and spinach and pulse to form a chunky mixture. Place in a 1-quart baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella. Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips.
Note: You can make sour cream by simply stirring 1 tsp of white vinegar into one cup of heavy cream and let it sit overnight at room temperature.
