So while this sauce is similar to the dip, and it is (without the mayo, though); fortunately this is just as savory and tasty but has no where near as many calories. Baked potatoes are just one vehicle for it, you could pour it over pasta, bake it over chicken breasts or pork chops, just eat it like a dip, or serve it on an old boot, they all work! (wink, wink).

4 Large Russet Potatoes, scrubbed, rubbed with oil and sprinkled with sea salt.
12 oz. package of frozen Artichoke Hearts, rinsed and drained
9 oz. box of frozen chopped Spinach, thawed and squeezed of all liquid
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 garlic clove, microplane grated or minced finely
2 cups chicken broth
4 oz. Neuchatel or low fat Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
pinch of Black Pepper
pinch of Red Pepper flakes (opt.)

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet in a 400F oven, prick with a fork once, each and bake until tender. About an hour. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large sauce pan and add garlic, cooking for 1 minute....
