Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat on low to medium.
  2. Add cayenne pepper, salt & black pepper to your liking. I use about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper.
  3. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan. May need to add in batches. Keep adding and stirring until all the spinach has been added.
  5. Stir occasionally for about 10 – 15 minutes, or until all spinach has been reduced.
  6. Remove from heat and drain the spinach well. This is important. Try to drain as much liquid as possible.
Option 1:
  1. Take your drained spinach and put in a food processor. Add the cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Once all ingredients have been added, blend on the lowest setting in 5 second intervals until you reach your desired consistency.
Option 2:
  1. Place your drained spinach in a large bowl. Add the cream cheese and parmesan cheese and mix well.
Recipe Notes

This is a great make ahead side dish! Just refrigerate and reheat. It actually tastes better after it has been refrigerated a few hours allowing the flavors to meld.
