Wilted Spinach with Almonds and Pesto Sauce
Prep Time: 5
Cooking Time: 5
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
- 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.
- 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).
- In a serving bowl, mix pesto, spinach and toasted almonds. Serve on top of scrambled eggs to make it a meal!
