Spinach and Artichoke Dip Quick and Easy

I used a double boiler for this, but on lower heat it would be just fine in a regular sauce pan.

1& 1/2 t chopped garlic
1& 1/2 t olive oil
1-1/2c chopped artichoke hearts (I used the kind pictured and really liked the flavor it brought to the dip)
2 c roughly chopped fresh spinach (you can also use frozen, just thaw and drain)
1/2c sour cream
1/2 (8oz)package cream cheese
1/2c mozzarella
1/4c Parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste

Sauté garlic in the olive oil on medium heat. Add artichokes and spinach. Just as spinach begins to wilt and cook down, add cream cheese. When cream cheese is melted down add everything else. Stirring often, cook until everything is melted and well mixed. It should be nice and goey, you know with the cheese all stringy when you pull the chip out of the dip! I also added a little spicy sauce to give it just a little kick. My lovely sister-in-law, Sherawn, compared it to Native New Yorkers Spinach and artichoke dip. Serve with tortilla chips for Gluten Free!
