Drain the artichokes, pat dry and chop into quarters. Add to the cream cheese mixture.
Add the pimentos and minced garlic, mixing until well combined.
Spoon into prepared baking dish. If the dish is very full, place the baking dish onto a baking sheet to catch any liquids that might boil over.
Top with additional parmesan, paprika and parsley.
Bake until golden and bubbly. About 20-25 minutes depending on your oven.
