After the first bite, my husband looked at me and said, “No matter what this is, WE’RE keeping it!” I immediately printed the recipe like a treasure and framed it.

Step 3: Create the Sauce

• Lower the heat to medium and add your creamy base (cream, butter, or a mix).
• Stir continuously to combine, allowing the sauce to thicken. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of herbs.

Step 4: Combine and Simmer

• Return the protein to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.
• Add fresh spinach or other greens and allow everything to simmer together for 3–5 minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, ensuring every bite is balanced and flavorful.

Step 5: Finish with Flair

• Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, a dash of lemon zest, or a bit of grated cheese on top.
• Serve immediately while warm, because the magic of the first bite happens best fresh.

Tips for a Memorable Dish

1. Use fresh ingredients – they elevate simple flavors into something extraordinary.
2. Layer flavors – searing protein first and sautéing vegetables separately builds depth.
3. Adjust to taste – a pinch of chili or a squeeze of lemon can transform the dish.
4. Presentation matters – colorful vegetables and a drizzle of sauce make the dish visually inviting.
