1
Wash and Prepare Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. Set aside for cooking.

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach leaves to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt down significantly.
6
Cook Spinach
Stir the spinach occasionally, cooking for about 3-5 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and tender.
7
Season Spinach
Once the spinach is wilted, add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
8
Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the melted spinach warm as a side dish.
