The balsamic vinegar overpowers everything, and there's entirely too much dressing for such a small amount of spinach.

The recipe has potential, but I agree with other reviewers - there is way to much dressing for the amount of spinach it calls for. With modifications, I think it could be great, but as written the dressing is overpowering, and the balsamic overwhelmed the taste of the spinach. If we make this recipe again, we will modify the ingredients.

Surprisingly good (especially considering I don't like spinach or balsamic vinegar). We use 1 pound of baby spinach for four people and serve as a side dish. Once it cooks down one pound of spinach is perfect for the measurements listed here (I barely use any oil though). To make everything go a bit faster: don't bother steaming and, instead, wilt the spinach in the same pan you used to saute the garlic with the olive oil, lemon, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Then turn off the heat, add the spinach, and cover for roughly 5 minutes so that the spinach wilts. Toasted pine nuts are a nice addition.

Used only about 1/2 the sauce - plenty and forgot the pine nuts. Good, simple, easy.

I was surprised at how well it turned out. I used fresh minced garlic and walnuts instead of pine nuts. I've honestly never made fresh spinach like this, so when I filled the pot and it shrank down, I was like dang and ended up using all the box of spinach haha

I'm not a fan of this...the dressing wasn't right and the measurements seemed off. I had a few bites.

This was my first time making wilted spinach and it came out heavenly with some changes. The amount of sauce is WAY too much and I used a whole 6oz bag of spinach and I dumped 90% of it out and there was still plenty. I used fresh minced garlic, and omitted the pine nuts because I just wanted it without them. I also added about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce trying to emulate my favorite sushi place. This is really amazing and will be eaten several times a week!! Also, don't be afraid to use more than just a pinch of pepper :)

very tasty, but way too much dressing. I would definitely increase amout of spinanch with the twice the amount at least. Steaming is the best way to cook spinanch and the healthiest. Steam in batches if basket is not big enough.
