Butter and Parmesan Spinach

Here's a side that's good in every season: spinach is versatile and quick to cook, and this recipe counts on that! All you need is a handful ingredients to bring something delicious to the table. The only downside? Once wilted, spinach shrinks down to nothing, so make sure you have a lot of fresh spinach to use up.
