Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or thawed and drained frozen spinach)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese

- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Notes
Ensure spinach is well-drained if using frozen to prevent a watery dip. You can use low-fat or non-dairy cream cheese for lighter alternatives.
