Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic diced or crushed
  • 5 oz baby spinach leaves (about 3 tightly packed cups)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  • When the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the garlic to the pan. Sautee, stirring occasionally, for one minute until the garlic is aromatic and starting to go golden.
  • Add the spinach leaves and lemon juice and sautee for another 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently. When the leaves are wilted (but not brown), remove the pan from heat. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
