Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups whole cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed, drained)
- 2 cups fresh spinach

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
