Defrost spinach 10 minutes on defrost setting in microwave then drain well by wringing out in dish towel. Defrost artichokes as well, 6 minutes on defrost in microwave then wring out and finely chop.
Heat a sauce pot with butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add garlic to melted butter and stir 1 to 2 minutes, then sprinkle in flour and combine 1 minute more. Whisk in stock and milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Thicken 2 minutes then remove from heat and melt in Gorgonzola. Stir in spinach and artichokes and half the shredded cheese then transfer to a small casserole and top with remaining cheese. Brown and bubble in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

This was a great recipe, I followed it to a tee, didn't omit anything, stuck to the measurements (which is very hard for me to do. I did salt and pepper every layer, but it was not watery, perfect texture and going in the recipe box. Make sure you thicken for 2 minutes and everything else falls into place. Until the next dinner party, we'll see you then!

VERY tasty except that it came out very watery, and I made sure I squeezed the spinach out very well. Have made many spinach artichoke dips and taste this was right up there but as I said, very watery at the bottom.
