So then I thought&#8230; what else can I do with spinach and artichokes? Found a few recipes online for artichoke &amp; spinach dip, but I didn&#8217;t really want a dip. Then I wasn&#8217;t sure if I wanted something to serve on crusty bread, or over roasted potatoes&#8230; in the end toasted ciabatta won because I had some on hand that needed using up today. Done. I also wanted a version I could bake in the air fryer. Also&#8230; done. And so this &#8220;not a dip kinda sauce&#8221; happened and it turned out great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second time I made it I added some chopped toasted marcona almonds for some crunch&#8230; also great!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients and instructions below&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>250 grams cream cheese, room temp<\/li>\n<li>50 grams (1\/4 cup) mayonnaise (or <a href=\"https:\/\/azahar-spain.com\/kitchen\/basics\/salsa-az\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">salsa az<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>115 grams (1\/2 cup) grated parmesan<\/li>\n<li>1-2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp dried basil<\/li>\n<li>freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>300 gram jar of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped<\/li>\n<li>175 grams baby spinach, wilted and chopped<\/li>\n<li>chopped toasted marcona almonds (optional)<\/li>\n<li>115 grams (1\/2 cup) grated mozzarella<\/li>\n<li>bit more grated parmesan if you like<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mix the cream cheese, mayo, parmesan, garlic, basil, black pepper in a bowl.
