Ingredients
  

8 oz (225 g) fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

4 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about a minute.

    Sauté Onions & Garlic: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Increase the heat slightly and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

        Add Spinach: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts down.

          Season & Flavor: Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mushroom and spinach mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine the flavors.

            Finish & Serve: Remove from heat and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
