Olive oil is a healthier fat option.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 1.5 tablespoons of butter until melted.

Add 16 ounces of cleaned baby spinach to the pan on medium heat, allowing it to sizzle.

Add half of the spinach first to avoid overcrowding the pan, then stir.

Once the first batch of spinach has wilted, add the remaining spinach and stir to combine.

Turn the heat down to low as the spinach wilts down further.

Season the spinach lightly with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon of cracked black pepper, adjusting to taste.

If desired, add another teaspoon of butter for extra richness before removing from heat.
