Instructions:

  1. Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any stems or tough parts. Dry the spinach using a salad spinner or by patting it with paper towels.

  4. Season the spinach with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Remove the spinach from the heat and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve the spinach as a side dish or use it as a filling for omelets, sandwiches, or pasta dishes.
