How Do You Like To Cook Fresh Spinach?

I think I'll saute' some garlic and stir fry the spinach with a little olive oil and add soy sauce.

I don't usually cook it alone, rather I throw it in soup , pasta sauce or lasagne filling.

I usually saute in a little olive oil with salt and red pepper flakes.

@ECBG  If I'm making it alone, I go with garlic and olive oil. But, like @QVCkitty1 I usually throw it into soup and other recipes at the last minute.

I love it simply with garlic, olive oil. (I'm sure your addition of soy sauce will be yummy too)

 

I mostly cook it into veggie soups.

 

Last night I didn't feel like anything fancy just something I could "make up" and throw together with what I had in house, easy.

Made bow-tie pasta, threw it into a zucchini, grape tomatoes, spinach, garlic and olive oil sautee' I made, threw in a few leftover canallini beans and finished with some fresh grated cheese.

Was pretty yummy.

 

I like to throw spinach into pasta dishes with shrimp or scallops too. Or even just spinach and scallops, or shrimp, sautee', with no pasta if you want low carb, still yummy.

I too am of the salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil ilk.

 

I do love it in tortellini soup.  Also, any time a make lentil soup I usually throw in some spinach or arugula.

 

I'm a sucker for leafy greens.  You never know when they'll turn up in one of my recipes.

Re: How Do You Like To Cook Fresh Spinach?

I love spinach.  My daughters grew up to love spinach and broccoli.  

I usually cooked it with lots of butter and a pinch of salt.

 

My daughter makes salads with spinach, orange segments or strawberries.  A slight bit of vinegar, honey, and the juice from the orange segments.
