I’m obsessed with this spinach.
On our most recent trip to Italy I must have eaten 15+ plates of spinach (yes, LOL)… not because it’s a “good for you” food, but because I was obsessed with how it tasted and how it was cooked.
I’m still working on perfecting this recipe but it’s not far from there, so I wanted to share it with you, it’s just so yummy, and as you may know, spinach is a superfood, loaded with so many good-for-you nutrients!
The key to this recipe here is boiling the spinach (I know, not ideal, and for other recipes I wouldn’t do this, but for this recipe to keep it authentic, that’s part of the cooking process!). Also, the second part of this recipe that’s super key is the LOADS of garlic!
Enjoy!
