For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter lightly in a pan before adding it to the spinach. Be careful to not burn the butter. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick to this dish. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes a wonderful garnish. If you don't have a microwave, you can steam the spinach in a skillet on the stovetop with a tablespoon or two of water.
