SAUTE SPINACH WITH GARLIC



Saute Spinach with Garlic image

Recipe from Martha Stewart. I am not an avid Martha fan, but this spinach dish is fragrant with garlic, but without the fat, and easy. I think it's better than spinach salad because you don't even have to dry them and comparing with with the calories you get with salad dressing, this "sauted" spinach is practically calorie-free!

CREAMY SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GARLIC AND CHEESE



Creamy Sauteed Spinach With Garlic and Cheese image

I love sauteed spinach with garlic, and one day I got creative and threw in some shredded cheddar cheese (Tilamook is the best). Yum! Yum! What a delightful treat my surprise turned out to be! :-) This may even appeal to non-spinach lovers because of the wonderful cheesy taste it brings. Please note that, when you first start to saute the spinach leaves, it will appear to be too much spinach, but once it begins to wilt, it becomes a much smaller quanity. Best of all, this dish literally takes about 5 minutes to throw together!

  • Make sure the spinach is properly clean and not soggy.
  • Make sure the skillet is not too hot.
  • Garlic should not be overcooked, it should be translucent and slightly browned.
