Preparation

Step 1

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

2. Add spinach in two batches, letting the first wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5-8 min. Transfer to a colander; drain pressing to release excess liquid.

3. In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 min. 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 quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella.

4. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 min. Serve hot.
