Start by adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a sauce pot over medium heat.

Add 5 bags of fresh spinach to the pot and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes, stirring consistently to avoid burning.

Drain the spinach and let it cool, then chop it finely.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach with 1 cup of sour cream, 8 to 10 ounces of whipped cream cheese, and 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of garlic and herb seasoning, a pinch of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl and mix well.

Incorporate 1/2 cup of Italian five cheese blend and 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing into the mixture and stir until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with mozzarella cheese and additional parmesan cheese to create a nice layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese starts bubbling.

After 20 minutes, switch the oven to broil and broil for about 3 minutes to achieve a nice brown top.
