Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, sour cream, and mayo. Stir until well combined.
Place thawed spinach in a strainer, then use your hands to squeeze out any excess liquid. Add the spinach to the ricotta mixture along with the Parmesan cheese, 1½ cups of the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
Spread the spinach dip mixture into an 8" x 8" or 9" x 9" baking dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite crackers, sliced bread, tortilla chips, or veggies. Enjoy!
