INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the oven and preheat to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.
Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Add butter and allow it to melt. Add garlic and saute until aromatic.
Add flour and whisk for a minute or until golden brown. Add milk and whisk until well blended.
Allow
the mixture to simmer for a few minutes. Add 2/3 cup of mozzarella
cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Simmer
for another 3 minutes or until the texture of the sauce becomes thick.
Add the spinach and artichoke hearts. Stir until just mixed.
