Ingredients

8 ounces of fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced

4 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're browned and tender. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Add Spinach: Once the mushrooms are cooked through, add the spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir well, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.

Finish with Balsamic: Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the sautéed mixture and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh parsley. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
