Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 onion, chopped fine
• 2 (10-ounce) jars artichoke hearts, drained, squeezed dry, and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.

2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat melt 2 tablespoons butter. Cook onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add artichokes and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer artichoke mixture to a small bowl; set aside.

3. Melt remaining butter in now empty saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in half-and-half, 1 1/4 cups Parmesan, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in spinach and reserved artichoke mixture.

4. Transfer to 1-quart baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
