Spinach and Artichoke Dip

It is that time of the year when there is a party every weekend. Lots of cooking, baking and eating. I have a friend who hosts holiday party every year. She likes to have only appetizers and dessert. We get to try a variety of Indian and American appetizers. No party is complete without a dip of some kind  served with chips, veggies, or crackers. This year I brought spinach and artichoke dip with  home made pita chips. I used the recipe that I got from the chef in my school. It was a great hit at the party.

Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, roasted and chopped
1/2 C chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1(14 ounces)jar artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1(8 ounces) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
4 Pita bread, cut into triangles

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a small baking dish
2. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese,1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach.
3. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish.  Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned. 
4. Lightly brush pita bread triangles with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees till they are crisp and golden.
5. Serve the pita chips with hot dip.
