To start, in a large microwave-safe bowl, combine provolone and mozzarella cheeses and then blend in red chile peppers and spaghetti sauce. Next, cover the bowl with a lid and microwave the ingredients on “High” for 3 minutes. Stir the mixture thoroughly and blend in the sour cream. Lastly, pour the dip into a serving bowl or dish and top the dip with Parmesan cheese. Serve the dip with Melba toast or chips.
