Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes.

Add spinach in 2 additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, about 5-8 minutes. 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 1-1/2 qt. shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
