  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first. Best in non-creamy sauces — it can turn stringy with dairy and loses thickness if boiled long.
• 

  ¾ cup whole milk
• 

  8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into chunks
  Required swap
• 

  ½ cup sour cream
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Swap 1:1; crème fraîche is richer and holds up to heat without curdling.
• 

  1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

• 

  ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Grate it before measuring; a parmesan rind won't work here.
• 

  1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Choose canned artichoke hearts in water, not marinated.
• 

  10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
• 

  ½ tsp salt
• 

  ¼ tsp black pepper
  Ingredient note

  Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

• 

  ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  Ingredient note

  Dried red pepper flakes can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid red pepper flakes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
