• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish
• 1  medium onion, diced
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  lbs spinach, cleaned, trimmed, and coarsely chopped
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 8  ounces  reduced-fat bar cream cheese
• 4  dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 6  dashes  hot sauce, such as Tabasco
• 1  cup  shredded mozzarella cheese
•  coarse  salt and pepper
•  baguette, slices for serving

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
2. Add spinach in two additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid.
3. In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/2 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use a generous amount!). Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
4. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with bread.
