1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the spinach as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 2-4 minutes.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss to combine.
