1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cool running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and set aside.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden but not burnt.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach leaves to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but they will wilt down significantly.
6
Season and Cook
Sprinkle the spinach with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss gently with the garlic and oil, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.

7
Plate the Dish
Remove the sautéed garlic spinach from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish.
