[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate everyone chiming in with ideas and trying to help, but this seems to have gone off the rails completely. I had very specific questions and I couldn't get answers to those. I am not sure why people were telling me to bake onions and curry and soups and such, and make completely different dishes than the ones I mentioned. I'm not looking to make new recipes, but to add spinach to things I already know how to cook.  If I could get the following questions answered about spinach I would greatly appreciate it.

Is it okay not to wash spinach first? 
Do I tear/cut it up into small pieces or just take it straight out of the bag and use it at the size it comes in?
I vaguely recall people talking about massaging it - is that a real thing?

I want to try it with eggs, and also a shrimp and pasta stir fry thing I make. Do I put the spinach in the pan before or after the shrimp? (If it matters, I buy pre-cooked shrimp so really am just warming and seasoning it in the pan.) *I think one person said it cooks quickly and to put the spinach in at the end but I got overwhelmed at all the information that was beyond what I'd asked and my brain shut down, so please correct me if I misunderstood that.

I'd also like to put it in baked pasta dishes, like stuffed shells - do I cook it in a frying pan first or just toss it in the shell with the cheese and then it cooks in the oven?[/quote]
