Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 1 kg 200 g fresh spinach, but don't cook them, just wash and spin-dry.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

In a large saucepan over high heat, pour in 12 tablespoons olive oil and, when hot, add the raw spinach.

Stir to "melt" the spinach, which will reduce in volume.

Season with salt and set aside.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

In the same saucepan, pour 12 tablespoons olive oil and when hot, add 450 g cooked potatoes cut into pieces or slices.

Brown to taste, stirring as little as possible, then season with salt and set aside.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Prepare and chop 3 shallots.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Still in the same saucepan, pour in 6 tablespoons olive oil and when hot add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper, stir and cook for 1 minute without browning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Add 750 g Mascarpone and stir until melted.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Add 3 tablespoons tomato paste and mix well.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Finish by adding spinach and potatoes, stirring everything together, letting it warm up and checking the seasoning.

Stage 9

Your Lombardy spinach is ready.
