Ingredients

* Kosher salt
* 1 10-ounce bag baby spinach
* 1 cup packed fresh basil
* 3/4 cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
* 6 ounces Neufchatel cream cheese
* 1 clove garlic, smashed
* 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
* 1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained, squeezed dry and
finely chopped
* 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
* 3/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
* Pinch of cayenne pepper
* 2 or 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
* Freshly ground black pepper
* Cooking spray
* Baked chips, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and
prepare a bowl of ice water. Stir the spinach and basil into the
boiling water and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove
with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge in the ice water. Drain
and squeeze dry, then roughly chop.

Puree the beans, cream cheese, garlic and chicken broth in a food
processor until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Transfer to a
medium bowl and fold in the spinach and basil, artichokes, parmesan
and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add the cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2
teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste.

Mist a deep 1-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Spread the dip
mixture in the dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella.
Bake until golden and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with baked
chips.
