10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and cut into quarters
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Using paper towels, squeeze the spinach to remove as much liquid as possible, then finely chop and place in a large bowl. Add the artichokes, mozzarella, 3/4 cup Parmesan, the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, pepper, and salt and stir to combine. Transfer to a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, and cover snugly with foil. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
