Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-proof skillet. Add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, red pepper and spices and sauté until the red pepper is soft (about 2 minutes).

  3. Add the crushed tomatoes and the spinach. Sauté for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
