Author Notes: Most recipes call for boiling the spinach. I find young spinach doesn’t need added water or too much cooking and the way I cook them, they end up retaining most of their vitamins and minerals. This recipe is extremely quick to do and you only use one pot. In less than 5 minutes you are ready to serve them. —Maria Teresa Jorge
