Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh baby spinach. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan so that the spinach has plenty of room to wilt.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much spinach at once, it will steam and not sauté properly.
  • Sauté the spinach over medium heat. High heat will cause the spinach to wilt too quickly and become tough.
  • Stir the spinach frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Season the spinach with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the sautéed spinach immediately. It can be served as a side dish or used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as pasta, soup, or quiche.

Conclusion:

Sautéed baby spinach is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be served as a side dish or used as an ingredient in other dishes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy.
