My grandmother used whatever vegetables she had on hand and often mixed them. The water left on the spinach mixes with the olive oil and garlic and makes a sauce. You can add chicken broth too. If it looks dry add a little water with the spinach. Serve as a side with a load of Italian bread to sop up the sauce.
