Tips:

- Add the spinach at the end of cooking: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important to add it to the dish at the end of cooking to prevent it from becoming overcooked.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
