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

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add Spinach
Add the washed spinach to the skillet in batches if necessary, stirring constantly until it wilts down, about 3-5 minutes.
6
Season the Spinach
Once the spinach is wilted, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or over pasta.
