1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4
Add Garlic
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5
Cook Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet. It will seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly. Cook the spinach, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes, until it is fully wilted.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice (optional)
If desired, squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the spinach before serving to enhance flavor.
