This marry me dip is a cross between Tuscan "marry me" flavors and hot spinach dip, very creamy and rich. With punchy sun-dried tomato bits and gooey melted mozzarella, this dip is just delightful.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomatoes jar
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Instructions

1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
2
Heat 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil in a 10-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet over medium. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste is slightly darker in color, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Fold in spinach, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 cup mozzarella until evenly combined.

Spread tomato mixture into an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.

Mama's Oh-So-Savory Lamb and Eggplant Casserole
The basis of this lamb and eggplant casserole recipe came from my 4th grade teacher's mother who was Armenian, and I've been making it for over 50 years. It is easy to put together, but the longer the stovetop step simmers, the better the casserole will be when served. The leftovers are yummy! You could serve this over rice, if you like, with a green salad. I just serve it in pasta bowls with crusty bread, butter, and a nice glass of red wine.
Chef John's Pulled Pork BBQ
Use your favorite dry rub and barbecue sauce to make this succulent pulled pork barbecue. A little trick I like is to put two ramekins with liquid smoke flavoring in with the meat and roast it slowly. Do your patriotic American duty and serve this pork on the cheapest, lightest white hamburger buns you can find.
Gorgonzola and Olive Stuffed Grape Leaves
These are the richest appetizers we have ever served. They are wonderful with wine and cheese! A version of this recipe was a gift from a friend and we have enjoyed it along with our guests. Use as much Gorgonzola as suits your taste!
