Smoky Spinach Artichoke Dip!

Spinach Artichoke Dip always takes me back to the days of working at Mimi's Cafe! One day when I was working there I tried this addicting dip and was hooked ever since. I have never made it at home because frankly I did not want all that cheesy temptation. Then recently I was watching an episode of Aarti Party and she made THIS recipe and it just brought  all the cravings back! So I decided to give Aarti's recipe a try and boy was it scrumptious!!! To tell you the truth it is a little to easy to whip up!

8-10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed with liquid squeezed out
1 (12-ounce bag) frozen artichoke hearts thawed
1/2 cup (plus more to top finished dip) freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
3 garlic cloves, grated or minced
