Yield : 6 portions
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves (1 large bunch)
- ½ cup best-quality olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ½ cup pine nuts (pignoli)
- 4 ounces prosciutto, diced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Toss the spinach and basil together in a large salad bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and pine nuts and sauté until the nuts begin to brown slightly. Stir in the prosciutto and cook 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
