When I was a kid I hated spinach, probably like most other kids. I can’t remember when I started to like it, but I believe it was early in my college years and I had some Spinach dip. Now I use it in a lot of dishes. The recipe below is for Sautéed Spinach with pan fried garlic and shaved parmesan. So simple to make and yet is full of flavor.
Sauteed Spinach with Garlic and Parmesan
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of fresh baby spinach
- 4 cloves of fresh garlic
- shaved parmesan
- 2 tablespoons of EVOO
- S&P
Procedure:
1- Slice each garlic clove thin length-wise and sauté over medium heat until a light golden brown. Takes maybe 5 minutes. Be careful not too burn it though!
2- Add spinach and toss until slightly wilted. This takes only a few minutes. Add S&P to taste.
3- Transfer to serving dish and toss in several tablespoons of shaved parmesan.
You’re DONE! It’s that easy. With pan-frying the garlic, it infuses the EVOO which coats the spinach as you toss it. The parmesan will get slightly soft from the spinach, but adds a nice salty-nuttiness to the dish.
My thoughts on this dish: I love spinach now almost anyway you can make it and incorporating it with two of my other favorite ingredients – garlic and parmesan – you get a home run in my opinion. This makes a great side dish for when you’re making pasta, but would like a vegetable on the side rather than a salad. It’s probably even easier than making a salad because you don’t need to cut all the veggies!
