How to Make Best Ever Italian Spinach
- Thaw frozen spinach completely and thoroughly squeeze out excess water. (Tip: Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth for best results)
- In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Add the squeezed spinach to the pan along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until spinach is heated through and slightly wilted.
- (Optional) If you like eggs in your spinach, break in 2 large eggs and gently stir until cooked to your liking and fully incorporated into the spinach.
- Remove from heat and drain any excess oil.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese (amount to taste).
