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.
