Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 (9-ounce) package artichoke hearts, defrosted, rinsed, dried, finely chopped
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, excess liquid squeezed out.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and bouillon cube and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until onions are light golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine artichoke hearts, spinach, ricotta, mayonnaise, cream cheese, mozzarella, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Add cooled onion-garlic mixture to the food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
- Transfer mixture into an 8-inch square glass baking dish or 9-inch glass pie plate which has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with tortilla chips.
