Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Bake the Spread

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.

Prepare Pita Bread

While the spread is baking, cut the pita bread into triangles and warm them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the baking time.

Serve

Remove the spinach spread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with the pita triangles, carrot sticks, and celery sticks.
