Notes

Chef’s Note: To microwave this recipe, simply add the spinach to a large microwavable dish.
Place butter, garlic, and salt in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and steam in the microwave
for 2 minutes or until the butter has melted and the spinach has wilted. Remove the plastic
wrap and toss to combine. Serve hot.
