- ½ onion cut into thin vertical slices
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 400 g spinach coarsely chopped
- 170 g strained yogurt
- 100 g parmesan grated
- salt
- pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place a pot full of water over high heat. Once boiled, salt and add the skioufichta, boiling 2 minutes less than the time indicated on the package, so that they come out al dente.
- Place a pan over high heat. Once heated, add a little olive oil, the onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the garlic, spinach and lower the heat to medium. Sauté, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the spinach loses its moisture.
- Add the skioufichta, season with salt and pepper, stir and remove from heat.
- Add the yogurt, parmesan, stir again and serve warm.
Notes
- Chef’s tip: Pour the yogurt after removing the pan from the heat so that it doesn't curdle.
