Ingredients for Cheesy Spinach
- 18 oz fresh spinach (or 9 oz frozen)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 3.5 oz Asiago cheese cubes
Steps for Preparing Cheesy Spinach
Start by heating a drizzle of oil in a pan along with a clove of garlic. When the oil is fragrant, add the spinach, washed and dried, and let them wilt, stirring occasionally and covering with a lid. A pinch of salt helps to enhance their natural flavor and makes them even tastier.
Once the spinach has wilted, remove the lid and let all the excess water evaporate. Remove the garlic clove. At this point, you can add the cheese cubes (Asiago or other melting cheese) distributing them evenly to achieve a uniform and creamy melt.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the cheese melt slowly, without stirring too much. In a few minutes, you will get soft, enveloping, and perfectly cheesy spinach. Serve them immediately to enjoy all their creaminess.
Storage
You can store them in the fridge for a couple of days.
