Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

1 small onion, finely chopped
2 pkgs (10 oz) each frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
1 pkg (8 oz) fat free cream cheese, cubed
1 container (8 oz) reduced fat sour cream
1 can (14 oz) water packed artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 to 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
Bread or crackers for dipping

Cook onion until tender in frying pan. Add spinach; cook and stir over medium heat until heated through. Reduce heat to low, stir in cream cheese and sour cream. Add the artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Transfer to an ungreased 1 1/2 qt microwave safe dish; sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with bread or crackers.

Delicious dip & great appetizer. Love it with baguette-style bread. Thanks Angie for sharing.
