SAUTEED SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA RECIPE

05/24/2016 by Filippo Trapella 12 Comments

Sauteed spinach and mozzarella is a delicious Italian side. This recipe is perfectly paired with eggs and meats. The quality of mozzarella is fundamental to the success of this dish: it must be juicy and with original taste. Otherwise, the spinach will not become creamy and consistent!

Pour the spinach into the pan along with golden garlic. Sauté the spinach over medium heat, stirring frequently.

When almost all the water inside the spinach is evaporated, salt as need and cook a couple of minutes more.

Low the heat then add shredded bufala mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Stir well until all the cheese is well melted and the sauteed spinach are consistent. Complete with a generous dash of black pepper.

Serve immediately, hot and creamy.

PREPARING SPINACH IN ADVANCE

It is possible to prepare the sauteed spinach in advance and stir them with mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano just before serving.

Re-heat the spinach with some tbsp of water. Finally, combine with cheese following the recipe. Once combined spinach with cheese I won’t recommend you to store and re-heat!
