  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A comforting side dish that combines earthy mushrooms and fresh spinach with savory garlic and creamy Parmesan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms, rinse and chop the spinach, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter. Once hot, add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the spinach and stir until it wilts down, about 2 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil and serve warm.

Notes

For deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after sautéing the mushrooms. Avoid rushing the cooking process for better results.
