Preheat the oven to 350°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Boil the spinach for about a minute, or until it is bright green and tender.

Equipment you will use

Oven

Pot

Drain well. When it is cool enough to handle, squeeze the moisture from it and chop. (Here is where I admit that I used frozen spinach and simply let it thaw completely, squeezed it, chopped it up, and sautéed it in some butter before proceeding. I did not want to boil water.)

Ingredients you will need

Frozen Spinach

Butter

Water

Put the butter or oil in a 9x13 inch baking dish and put the dish in the oven. When the butter melts or the oil is hot, toss the spinach in the dish, stirring to coat it with fat.
