    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and drain. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and then juice it, discarding the seeds.

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the X-Virgin Aegean Olive Oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Cook the Spinach

    Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
