1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the spinach mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
