Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    approx. 6 grams of fresh asparagus
    2 big handfulls of fresh baby spinach
    1/2 cup vegetable broth
    1/4 cup red wine (I used Pinot Noir)
    4 cloves of garlic
    Mrs. Dash, Garlic & Herb blend
    2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

Spray a pan with non-stick spray and turn on to medium-high heat. Dice the garlic cloves and add to the pan. When garlic is almost completely browned, add asparagus. As it continue to sizzle, add the vegetable broth and IMMEDIATELY cover the pan with a lid.

Lower to medium heat and leave covered for about 2 minutes. Add the red wine, 1 hefty sprinkle of the Mrs. Dash, and cover again. Let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Add the spinach and cover again. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring once or twice. Spinach should be completely wilted.

Remove asparagus/spinach to a plate, leaving the remaining liquid in the pan. Raise heat to medium-high and continuously stir the sauce until it reduces to half. Pour over asparagus/spinach, top with parmesan cheese, and serve.
