Sauteed Spinach

We took a romantic weekend to the Renaissance Hotel in Dallas. Used up some Marriott points and ate too much. The restaurant on the ground floor served us something sort of like this. 


1 Tbsp Olive oil
Heat in small skillet that can go in oven
2 cloves garlic, peeled, whole
Sauté in skillet until spinach wilts
2 cups fresh leaf spinach (frozen will work)
2 Tbsp cream (the amount isn’t critical)
Remove skillet from heat and add.
1 Tbsp grated Asiago cheese (Parmesan or Romano will work but just aren’t as good)
Sprinkle on top and move pan to oven under hot broiler to soften cheese.

Serve in skillet.

Note that Asiago cheese sometimes doesn’t melt well. If you wait for it to melt, it will get tough. Just broil it until the cheese is hot. (You can do the same thing with a propane torch if you wish. Just move it around a little over the top of the pan.)

  1. I’ve quit putting cream in this. But I do add a handful of kalamata olives while when I put in the garlic.
