1
Prepare the garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
2
Wash the spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or sand. Spin dry or pat dry with a towel.

3
Heat the oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5
Add spinach
Gradually add the spinach, stirring continuously. The spinach will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the spinach
Once the spinach is wilted and tender (about 3-4 minutes), sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish. Serve warm.
