Sautéed Spinach… but Better!

These days everyone incorporates fresh baby spinach into smoothies, cold spinach dips, and salads, and rarely makes it into ‘a side dish’ anymore; at least I think so. But, we love sautéing fresh spinach and serve it as a side dish, and we make it often.  Even our spinach with garlic and olive oil is still one of our favorites!

But this recipe for sautéed spinach is even better! It’s sautéing fresh spinach with fresh tomato, garlic, and olive oil, and that makes the entire difference. And, it happens to be my husband’s favorite recipe. 

It’s quick and easy to make, and this recipe for sautéed spinach with tomatoes always turns out sensational!

No need to embellish with extra ingredients or weigh it down with creams or cheese. It’s always tastes amazing!

Keep in mind, that spinach wilts when cooked and will practically shrink to nothing when it’s sautéed.  So you may need to buy a bunch of spinach depending on how many servings you will need.
