Baked Artichoke Cheese Dip

1 can marinated artichoke hearts, mostly drained
1 clove garlic, peeled
dash pepper
dash paprika
1 C. sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 C. mozzarella or monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 C. parmesan cheese
1/2 bag frozen cut or chopped spinach

Thaw and drain spinach, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine artichoke hearts, garlic, pepper, and paprika in blender. Blend well until creamy. Scrape into medium sized mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT spinach one at a time and mix well with hand mixer. Gently stir in the spinach. Mound into baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Spread on crackers or bread.

NOTE: You can use a food processor to make the entire recipe. But still stir in the spinach or your dip won't look pretty. If you only have a blender do not try to mix everything in it. It will bind up your blender.
