Artichoke-Parmesan Dip


I got this recipe from my friend (and neighbor) Julie Spaghetti. It's super easy and yet tastes fabulous. Thanks, Jules!

Artichoke-Parmesan Dip

2 cans artichoke hearts, drained
2 c. grated Parmesan
2 c. light mayo
2 T. lemon juice

If your artichoke hearts are not already quartered, chop them up a little:


Mix in mayo and Parmesan:

Spread in a shallow baking pan (I used an 11x7, but you could put this in a 9x13 pan, too), and bake at 375˚ for about 15 minutes. I let it go a little bit longer to get a lightly browned cheesy crust on top. This was absolutely delicious!


NOTES: I had thought about adding either crushed garlic or garlic powder, but when Julie Spaghetti made it, it was so good that I didn't want to screw around with the flavor. So I left it alone. We took it to a Super Bowl party, and came home with an almost-empty pan.

I also thought that this would make a great hot sandwich spread...like for roast beef or maybe even turkey...on some of my homemade rye bread...mmmm....

Is her last name really Spaghetti? If so that's awesome. Heh.

The dip sounds great, I bet it would be good as a spread.

LOL...no, "Spaghetti" is a nickname, resulting from the fact that I could never remember her last name, but I *knew* it was something Italian. So she & her husband became "Joe & Julie Spaghetti." They have no problem with it, which is good because it kinda caught on in the neighborhood! :D
