Tips:
- Fresh spinach: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh spinach. If you only have frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out as much excess water as possible before using.
- Sour cream: Use full-fat sour cream for the richest flavor. You can also use Greek yogurt if you prefer a lighter option.
- Pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts adds a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
- Seasoning: Be generous with the salt and pepper. Spinach is a mild-flavored vegetable, so it needs a little bit of seasoning to bring out its flavor.
- Serving: Serve the spinach immediately after it's cooked. It's best enjoyed warm, but it can also be served cold.
