In heavy, large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add onion. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until slightly browned. Add spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in artichoke hearts, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper; remove from heat. Pour into 2 greased 9-inch pie plates or 1-quart baking dishes. Top with cheese. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Serve warm with fresh vegetables and crackers. Makes 24 servings.
