Prep: 10 min
Cook: 10 min
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 bunches spinach
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 3/4 teaspoon salt
  5. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  6. 2 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
  7. 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash and dry spinach and remove stems.
  2. Using half the ingredients and working in batches, heat olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Saute garlic about one minute. Add spinach leaves, increase heat to high, and stir until evenly wilted, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes. Cook an additional minute. Stir in grated Parmesan, remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. If spinach releases too much water, you can drain mixture in a colander before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings again after draining.

I made this last night. I ended up making a second batch of it because the first one went so quickly. Absolutely delicious; I followed the suggestion by others to add the garlic after the spinach was cooked and it was perfect.

This is delicious. I do make a few adjustments. I add the garlic after the spinach cooks. I also use heirloom tomatoes and let them cook for a few more minutes. Then I add a heavy hand of parmesan and a large splash of Balsamic vinegar. I leave all the juices and serve over hash browns and top with a fried egg. Serve along side fruit and this is a perfect breakfast.

It wasn’t inedible, but it just wasn’t as great as I expected it to be.

Personal opinion…when I like the flavor of any vegetable or fruit (produce dept.) and enjoy simple cooking with cheese on top…great.

Try this recipe. Happiness happens!!!!!

I used italian seasoned sun dried tomatoes in place of the fresh tomatoes and served alongside orzo – it was gone in a second!
