1/4 cup pine nuts (pignoli)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 bags (10 ounces each) washed fresh spinach leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
lemon wedges
1. Gently toast nuts in a dry sauté pan until they start to
brown. Set aside. In a very large pan, heat olive oil and
garlic over medium heat until garlic sizzles and starts to
turn golden (do not allow garlic to brown). Add pine nuts
and one third of the spinach; sauté until spinach wilts.
Add remaining spinach in batches, seasoning with salt
and pepper as it cooks. Serve with lemon wedges.
Antioxidant-rich spinach picks up a deep nutty flavor from the
pignoli and toasted garlic.
