Ingredients:

• Lampredotto
• Garlic
• Parsley
• Spinach
• Tomato sauce
• Tomato paste
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

1. Prepare the sauté: In a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add chopped garlic and parsley until the garlic turns golden. It’s important not to burn them!
2. Cooking the lampredotto: Add the precooked lampredotto (which you can buy at Bambi’s counter) cut into strips to the pot and let it brown for about 15-20 minutes until it is well flavored.
3. Add the sauce: Pour the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and a bit of salt into the pot, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Let it cook for another 15-20 minutes.
4. Incorporate the spinach: Add the fresh spinach and continue cooking until they start to reduce (about 40 minutes).
5. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste and, if you like, with a bit of chili pepper or hot sauce.
