Forget the sour cream.

Forget the cream cheese.

Spinach dip made with mascarpone cheese is an absolute winner! Lighter (texture…sorry…not in calories) and I bet you’ll love it.

    Spinach dip is a favorite of mine. This has a different twist! It does look a lot lighter. Always good with bread . Yummy!

    I think the Olive Garden uses mascarpone in their spinach artichoke dip – which is by far the best I’ve had at any restaurant. Yum!

    This looks heavenly Jaden! My mom always makes a spinach artichoke dip whenever we have people over, but I’m sure this would be a fabulous (but not too drastic) change every once in awhile!

    Happy Holidays!

    I just made a cheddar and walnut cheese ball, but now I’m seriously wishing I had made this instead. Might just have to make a trip to the store tomorrow to squeeze it in.

    So glad to see this recipe, Jaden — you’ve validated me!!! My usual spinach and artichoke dip was made with cream cheese, which I can no longer eat due to food allergies. So this year, I used goat cheese and mascarpone as a substitute and everyone thought I was crazy. Now I can say, “See, Jaden used it, too!”

    Yum! Can I eat this for breakfast? :) I think this would qualify for getting my greens in at breakfast like I’m supposed to do this pregnancy.

    Of course we ate all of my bread recently, so I’ll have to make some more French bread, too. . .

    This is just evil. Pure evil. What am I going to do when my marathon training is over in January? I’m gonna have to sign up for another race so I can keep eating all these tasty morsels … that’s what I’m gonna have to do! :o P

    Dang American rules that require aging raw cheese 60 days! I need to find someone who will smuggle some raw Mascarpone into the country for me, just so I can make this. And those pictures. Drool-worthy. Really wish I hadn’t skipped lunch.

    OMG – this stuff is sooo crazy good! Thank you so much for the recipe (I blogged about it). I had forgotten how much I love mascarpone. However, Bel Giorno brand that you can get at regular markets, not so good. I have to head back over to Whole Foods for the stuff I can eat by the spoonful.
