Spinach recipe

Here’s a simple and flavorful spinach recipe that’s quick to make and packed with nutrients!

_Garlic Sauteed Spinach_

*Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh spinach (washed and tough stems removed)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

*Instructions:

Prepare the Spinach: If you’re using fresh spinach, rinse it thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can leave it a little damp, which helps it wilt more quickly.

Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn it!).

Cook the Spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet in batches. It may seem like a lot at first, but spinach wilts down significantly. Stir the spinach occasionally, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until it’s wilted and tender.

Season: Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, and optionally top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

This recipe is super quick and works as a great side dish or a healthy topping for things like pasta, pizza, or even a sandwich. Want to add anything else to it, like nuts or dried fruit?
