  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  14      oz            Canned artichoke hearts -- drained
  30      oz            Frozen chopped spinach -- thawed and drained
   8      oz            Cream cheese
   2      tb            Mayonnaise
   4      tb            Olive oil
   6      tb            Milk
                        Salt and pepper -- to taste
     1/3  c             Parmesan cheese -- fresh grated

If frozen artichokes are used, cook according to instructions. Do not
overcook. Drain the artichokes, and place them on bottom of a 3 qt
casserole. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the spinach, and
layer it on top of the artichokes. In an electric mixer blend the
cream cheese, mayonnaise, and butter or oil until light and fluffy.
Gradually beat in the milk, and spread this mixture over the top of
the spinach. Sprinkle with pepper and the cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 375 F for 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly
browned.

You can refrigerate this dish after putting it together and before
baking it, but if it is chilled, slightly increase the baking time.
