Balsamic Parmesan Sauteed Spinach
Tender spinach with a hint of garlic, Parmesan cheese and sweet balsamic vinegar is a quick and flavorful side dish. The sturdy leaves of mature spinach hold up best during cooking.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound fresh spinach
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 4 teaspoons good-quality balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
Directions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 3 cloves garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add 1 pound spinach, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Cook, stirring, until just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Drizzle with 4 teaspoons vinegar (or glaze) and serve immediately.
