Don't laugh, I'm trying to make Spinach Artichoke dip, and I don't know how to drain the water off the spinach..........do I need to?

I would otherwise your dip might be soupy. I usually put it on a paper towel and roll it up and kind of gently squeeze it. I don't know if that's the proper way though!

What I do if it is chopped spinach, is after it sits in the collander a while I actually pick it up and squeeze it with my hands and then roll it in paper towels as mentioned above.
