I could eat it every day and I'm always looking for new spinach recipes to try. This one is a winner!

But I didn't see the need to cook the baby spinach in water first and have to wash another pan. Halved the recipe. Made the butter sauce with garlic and seasonings in a deep skillet, then added baby spinach and turned with tongs until just wilted. Put in small baking dish, Parmesan on top, baked while meat rested. Broiled at the end to get cheese browned a bit. A wee bit watery at edges- soaked that up with paper towel before serving.

I did not do the boiling wilting method. Too much work and too much steam in the kitchen. I did what I always do, which is after picking through the spinach I put a pound in my largest glass Pyrex bowl, add a TB or so of water, cover with a plate and micro for a minute, toss and micro covered till wilted. Put first batch in my casserole dish. Do the same with the other LB. I previously microwaved the butter, olive oil, herbs, and garlic in a glass cup measure, just to a boil. Then gently microwaved a bit more.. the measuring cup made the pouring the butter herb mixture over the spinach very easy. No skillet to clean up. Cup goes in the dishwasher, as does the large Pyrex bowl I wilted the spinach in.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-05-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueToast"},"reviewBody":"Really good!

Too much work and too much steam in the kitchen. I did what I always do, which is after picking through the spinach I put a pound in my largest glass Pyrex bowl, add a TB or so of water, cover with a plate and micro for a minute, toss and micro covered till wilted. Put first batch in my casserole dish. Do the same with the other LB. I previously microwaved the butter, olive oil, herbs, and garlic in a glass cup measure, just to a boil. Then gently microwaved a bit more.. the measuring cup made the pouring the butter herb mixture over the spinach very easy. No skillet to clean up. Cup goes in the dishwasher, as does the large Pyrex bowl I wilted the spinach in.","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"01\/18\/2020 02:04","GUID":"7fa820b3ee9a40ee803257955c475bed","MemberId":6302531,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mimirita","SubmittedDate":"01\/18\/2020 02:04"},{"Comment":"Fabulous side dish!

We love spinach, and this a quick, easy and delicious new way to make it. But I didn't see the need to cook the baby spinach in water first and have to wash another pan. Halved the recipe. Made the butter sauce with garlic and seasonings in a deep skillet, then added baby spinach and turned with tongs until just wilted. Put in small baking dish, Parmesan on top, baked while meat rested. Broiled at the end to get cheese browned a bit. A wee bit watery at edges- soaked that up with paper towel before serving. Really yummy!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"06\/14\/2017 23:24","GUID":"fbaac8339ccb4edf8baeaa73509c9ccf","MemberId":1940854,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Judy","SubmittedDate":"06\/14\/2017 23:24"},{"Comment":"

I love spinach .... I could eat it every day and I'm always looking for new spinach recipes to try. This one is a winner! I didn't have fresh spinach on hand so I made it with 3 10-ounce packages of frozen chopped spinach that I thawed and drained WELL and I also mixed in 1\/2 cup shredded sharp cheese to the spinach before putting it in the baking dish. I think I would cut back on the garlic a little but, other than that..... this is one awesome spinach recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"09\/13\/2016 13:56","GUID":"df148488cbd548b78055a97dd661b905","MemberId":4201818,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bicktasw","SubmittedDate":"09\/13\/2016 13:56"},{"Comment":"

As soon as I saw this in my TOH magazine, I knew I wanted to try it. I am glad I did! My family likes spinach but I rarely serve it 'plain'.
