Cheesy spinach dip by Martha Stewart

 (http://www.marthastewart.com/338357/hot-spinach-dip)

Ingredients:

•     2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish

•     1 medium onion, diced

•     2 garlic cloves, minced

•     900g frozen spinach

•     1/2 cup milk

•     170g cream cheese

•     3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

•     3 dashes Tabasco

•     3/4 cup mozzarella, shredded

•     Season with salt and pepper

Baguette slices, breadsticks, or crackers, for serving

Instructions:

•     Preheat oven to 220°c degrees. In a large pot, heat oil over medium temperature. Add the onion and garlic and cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.

•     Add half the spinach, letting the first half wilt before adding the leftover half; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Then transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid.

•     In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2cm deep baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.

•     Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
