Wilted Spinach with Almonds and Pesto Sauce

Ingredients

  • 4-6 cups raw spinach leaves

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • ¼ cup almonds, toasted, no salt

  • 1 tbsp pesto sauce

  • Optional: 4 scrambled eggs

Instructions

  1. In a toaster oven or standard oven, toast almonds on a cookie sheet at 300 degrees F for 4 minutes, until they begin to brown and crack.

  2. While almonds are toasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach, and use tongs to lightly “fluff” spinach and coat with oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until leaves start to deflate and wilt. Remove from heat quickly. (Note: If you don’t like the stronger flavor of cooked spinach, cook only for 30 seconds or so).

  3. In a serving bowl, mix pesto, spinach and toasted almonds. Serve on top of scrambled eggs to make it a meal!
