Spinach "in Riccioli"

Ingredients

• 1 pound Fresh spinach
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (Grated)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the spinach thoroughly. Boil the spinach in a pot of salted water until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain the spinach and pass it through a fine colander or squeeze out excess water with your hands.
2. 2In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Mix enough of the prepared spinach into the eggs to make them green.
3. 3Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is thoroughly heated (but not boiling), pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan, turning the pan about so that the pancake is as thin as a piece of paper and dry. Toss if necessary. Take it out and repeat with the rest of the egg mixture.
4. 4Stack the pancakes on top of each other and cut them into pieces the width of a finger and about two inches long. Fry them in butter until lightly browned.
5. 5Grate Parmesan cheese over the fried spinach pieces and serve immediately as a garnish.
