2 c shredded parmesan cheese
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

1. First preheat the oven to 375 F Now, thaw the frozen spinach, you may do this in the microwave. Once it is thawed, squeeze all of the excess liquid out of the spinach. Set spinach aside.
2. Next, dice the red bell pepper, grate the garlic using a microplane grater (or you can just use a small dab of minced garlic in the jar), and cut up the artichoke's, also squeezing out the excess liquid as you go. Mix all of these ingredients with the spinach. (Save a few of the diced red bell pepper's to sprinkle on top just before baking)
3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, 1 cup of sour cream and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Once combined, add to the spinach/artichoke mixture and stir everything together.
4. Pour the mixture into a medium casserole dish and add the remaining 1 cup of shredded parmesan to the top of the mixture. Now sprinkle the saved diced red bell pepper's on top of the cheese . Cover and bake for about 25 minutes. Serve with your favorite nacho chips......enjoy! :)
