Melt 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet on moderate flame, then cook spinach, stirring, till wilted and tender for about 4 minutes.
Remove it from the heat and cool for about 10 minutes.

Melt the remaining 1 stick butter in a small saucepan, and then cool.
Cover the phyllo stack with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a moisten kitchen towel.
Take 1 phyllo sheet from the stack and place on a work surface with a long side, keeping rest of the sheets covered and brush with some butter.
Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with more butter, cut buttered phyllo stack diagonally into 6 strips.
Place a heaping tsp of filling near 1 corner of a strip on end and then fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and to make a triangle.
