My Favorite Spinach Saute

Super easy...Super tasty...what more could busy Moms want???? This is such a versatile recipe! Serve it as a side...fill an omlet with it...turn it into a quiche....pile it on homemade pizza crust add some good mozzarella and you have one awesome pizza...the possibilites are endless.

2 bags baby spinach
2 tblsp olive oil
1-2 shallots (depening on your tastes), diced
2 - 3 cloves garlic (depending on your tastes), finely minced
coarse salt fresh
ground pepper
pinch fresh nutmeg (can use ground if that is all you have)
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
In large skillet over medium heat, wilt the spinach, takes about 5 minutes. Remove from pan & wipe out pan with paper towel- swirl olive oil in pan and heat over medium heat. saute the shallots & garlic 5-7 minutes; add spinach, tomatoes & nutmeg. Season with salt & pepper. Saute another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep garlic from scorching. Taste and adjust salt/pepper to your liking. Enjoy!
