1 cup white rice, like texmati brand |
1 3/4 cups chicken stock or 1 3/4 cups broth |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
4 cups fresh spinach, chopped |
3/4-1 cup grated parmigiano reggeano cheese |
Directions:
1. Rinse the rice.
2. Heat the olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat.

4. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds.
