👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Wilt the spinach with a clove of the garlic in a small pot 2–3 minutes. Drain and dry well.
