Creamed Spinach

Creamy dreamy spinach. Many people are haters but I was always a huge fan. When it comes to vegetables theres certain ones that I really prefer cooked, Spinach being one of them. This is a recipe revamp of the traditional version using stronger flavors and a quick cooking method. Side note: for anyone who has iron levels that go low at times spinach contains non-heme iron, which unfortunately isn't as absorbable in the body. To make the most of it add a source of Vitamin C like fresh lemon juice right at the end of cooking to make the iron it does contain more usable for every cell in the body!

-2 packages or approximately 4 cups fresh spinach. If buying in the bundles this is about 2 bundles of spinach

-2 Tbs Olive Oil

-4 fresh garlic cloves chopped

-Salt and pepper to taste

-Half a lemon juiced into the pan

-Shaving of fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese right at the end of cooking. Substitute nutritional yeast to make this vegan

Heat a large skillet with 2 Tbs. Olive Oil over med-high heat. Add in garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Add in spinach allowing it to wilt down as you add it in. Once wilted add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add in the lemon juice. Lastly top with either cheese or nutritional yeast.
