Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach in two or three batches, pressing each batch down with a spoon, and blanch until just wilted, about 30 seconds total. Drain through a colander and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.

Working in small handfuls, squeeze the spinach firmly to remove as much water as possible, then roughly chop it and set aside. The spinach should feel nearly dry — excess moisture will thin the sauce.
