Recipe Notes

Of course you can use fresh spinach, it's even better and the making off is the same, you have to wash and rinse well the vegetables then put them in the pan until all the water is gone and the spinach are cooked.

You should use about 31 oz fresh spinach.

You can also sautee spinach in the pan with butter and some Parmesan to enrich this side dish.

Instructions
  1. Sautee cleaned spinach in a pan with olive oil, garlic and salt. When cooked remove garlic and blend spinach in a mixer with as much as needed cold water to have a smooth cream.
  2. In a tall glass blend with a mixer stracchino cheese with a couple of hot water spoons. Keep on blending adding oil little by little and, if needed, more hot water. The cream could become granulose but it's not a problem, keep on blending untill it's fluffy ( you will need 3-4 tabsp oil, no more).
  3. When the spinach cream is at room temperature put it in a dish, add teaspoons of cheese mousse and, if you like, radish and/ or asparagus. I added only a hint of lemon zest, I liked it.
