parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start with half a pound of spinach and finely chop 1.5 tablespoons of garlic.

Heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the spinach to the skillet, tossing it to coat with the oil and garlic.

Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.

Cover the skillet to create moisture and help the spinach wilt.

Check the spinach after about a minute; it should be wilted and have released some liquid.

Add 2 teaspoons of butter to finish the dish and allow some moisture to evaporate before serving.
