Looks good.

I like to make a parmesan spinach dish that is kind of like yours.

I take 2 pounds of fresh spinach leaves and wash them. I saute in olive oil
as much garlic as I want then cook the spinach in that with some salt until
it is cooked - maybe 3-5 minutes. Then in goes 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/2
cup parmesan cheese and toss it all around until it's creamy and thick. I
love it with fried polenta.

That sounds really good, I 'll have to try it. I still have a lot of
fresh spinach to use up.
The bread crumbs reminded me that one recipe I was looking at said
that the next day to put the creamed spinach in a casserole dish and
top with bread crumbs and re heat.

I so have to try saute'ing spinach. I've only ever eaten it raw or
steamed.

I've been pigging out lately on baby spinach leaves. It keeps well for
about a week under refrigeration, but the Hobart holds a temp of 33
degrees at the moment. It has a temp gauge on the outside of it so I
can monitor it.

Add some egg noodles and it would be wonderful.

I love sauteeing spinach, both that way and others. Sometimes I just boil
the spinach then remove it to drain and re-start the pan with butter instead
of oil and some diced pancetta to sautee with the onion, then re-add the
spinach and stir well and serve with plenty of grated parmigiano.
This method allows for many uses, expecially for erbazzone stuffing if you
crack some eggs in the pan and then lay tje mix over a sheet of non-sweet
pastry.
A shot of erbazzone to give an idea of it:

A but of nutmeg does wonders for cream sauces. This sounds delicious.

I love baby spinach. I probably should use them more often.

That looks like something I'd like to try. I don't think I'd boil the
spinach though, I like it with just a quick sauté.
