Italy Spinaci alla Romana (Roman-Style Spinach)
Spinach is, unfortunately, one of those vegetables that tends to get demonized or overlooked. Boiled beyond recognition, with no enjoyable flavor...it doesn't have to be so. Spinaci alla Romana adds the crunch of pine nuts and the sweetness of raisins for a lovely balance of flavors and textures.
