• 6 oz spinach roughly chopped
• ½ cup mozzarella shredded
• 2 tbsp onion chopped

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Melt butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and thyme. Cook for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and red pepper flakes, then season with salt and pepper and sauté for 8 minutes.
• Stir in spinach (a handful at a time, allowing to wilt before adding the next handful), and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Set aside.
