Pan Sauted Spinach

Tried this recipe a few years ago and continue to use it on a regular basis. I added the mushrooms and pine nuts to it on a whim one evening and fell in love with it all over!! Just another way to get in a fantastic veggie! Please note that when cooked the volume of spinach decreases by three quarters. Don't be hesitant to use all of both bags, you'll need them!


2 + 1/2 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled


1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Butter


1 Tablespoon Olive Oil


2 Tablespoon minced Garlic


1/2 sweet Onion, chopped


2 bags of baby Spinach (6 oz each)


salt + pepper


sliced Mushrooms (optional)


Pine Nuts (optional)



Fry the bacon, drain and crumble, set aside.

Melt butter and oil in large skillet over medium heat. Mix in bacon, garlic, onion, mushrooms and pine nuts. Cook and stir 2-4 minutes, until onions just begin to soften. Next mix in the spinach until evenly coated with oil mixture. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, cook 5 minutes or until spinach is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Yields approx. 4 servings

I've tried Hollie's recipe and it is so yummy! I added sauteed shrimp and couscous to the dish and it was delightful!! It's very versatile.
