1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2
Chop Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them to release their flavor.
3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Stir gently until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Once the spinach is wilted, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle lemon juice over it. Stir to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve warm as a side dish.
